This is a 240Hz VA panel (120Hz native, double-pass refresh, strobe on 2nd clean refresh).
This finally bring great colors, 5000:1 contrast ratio AND an vendor-sanctioned official strobe backlight -- to a gaming monitor!!!
I've been waiting years for this type of monitor.
Eizo's white paper on their Turbo240 strobing:

The great news is:
-- It's 100% PWM free in regular desktop mode. Zero flicker and eye friendly...
-- You can make it "go into CRT motion clarity mode" with its strobe backlight, whenever you play a game.
-- Turbo240 strobing is an easily accessed feature (just press a monitor button)
-- Works on all graphics card; not limited to NVIDIA or AMD
The year 2014 is exciting. Low-persistence official strobe-backlight monitors are finally coming out (Eizo Turbo240, plus NVIDIA G-SYNC low-persistence mode), after LightBoosts' reign as an unofficial method of eliminating motion blur. Optional/adjustable CRT quality motion on flat panel desktop monitors will eventually become more common.
