Experience fluid gameplay free from motion blur with the gaming industry's first 240 Hz monitor. EIZO's Turbo 240 converts 120 Hz input signals to 240 Hz for a refresh rate double that of conventional gaming monitors so you can enjoy the smoothest motion display yet for first-person shooter, racing, and other fast-action genres.
EIZO Foris FG2421

What do you think about the 240HZ new monitor?

I'm not an expert but what sort of advantage is there beyond 120Hz or 144Hz for gaming as it is?

EDIT: Oh nvm, I see it's a VA panel.

Go look at their white paper on that page. It's not frame interpolation, it's backlight pulsing.

Edit: Well, it also says it's doubling the frames so I'm not sure. It may not be interpolation and is just frame doubling, but I haven't read anything that makes me think they're actually using frame interpolation which would be extremely stupid to do and market as a gaming monitor.

Edit2: Yep they're not interpolating. It's just doubling the frames.

Ezio has fantastic monitors, the build and quality. I do not know any other company that offers 5 year warranty.
I'm just waiting on a 27" from them. Once it happens, hello my new toy.

Correct. All monitors I see have a 800:1 or 1000:1 as standard and 350cd/m2 or under.
This is well above that.

There will never be a panel that suits me

I was waiting for a 480HZ / 21:10 / 4K / Curved / Low energy / Perfect Black / High Gamut / Low input lag / G Sync / 46" / Wall Mounted / Zero Bezel/ Super-VA Panel .. but they never quite hit my $300 target price point

I think 2D large desktop monitors days are numbered for inversive 3D gaming. They will exist for desktop use and competitive twitch FPS & RTS but when the first gen HD oculus rift is released I think many people will want these for gaming with huge equivalent viewing areas, genuine 3D with full 360 immersion and tilt and who know's they may even fit 1440p or 4K 5" OLED's for incredible definition

240hz huh? All we need now is 1440p, thin bezel, 1.06 billion colous, and overclockable to 600hz

The test for PC hardware builders will be to keep these screens at 60FPS as dropping hurts the eyes more (cue G sync's domination) and who know's they may even fit 1440p or 4K 5" OLED's for incredible definition
480FPS 4000x(4000/21*10) even HDwire doesn't have the bandwidth so LOL

Post-processing = bad.
I doubt it's using interpolation. It's most likely using the flickering backlight thing (can't remember what it's called) that simulates a higher refresh rate.
"Simulated" higher refresh rate? wut? It's exactly like the TV's that have 600hz refresh rates

Most of you are completely missing the point here. It is a VA panel, and not a TN.
There is not one like it.
Dont matter if simulated or not, it is still a 120hz base.
