Below is the old 2014 list:
This is the old Blur Busters List of 120Hz, 144Hz and 240Hz computer monitors, including LightBoost monitors, gaming monitors, and overclockable monitors, including 1080p and 1440p monitors.

120Hz Monitors – Motion Blur Eliminating
Includes: LightBoost, ULMB (G-SYNC), EIZO Turbo 240, BENQ Blur Reduction
These monitors eliminate motion blur using an optional strobe backlight mode such as LightBoost. For more info, see TFTCentral: Motion Blur Reduction Backlights for explanations. Low-persistence strobe backlights allows LCD to have CRT motion clarity.
