I think 500-1000Hz is the next step and further increasing of refresh rate will not be very noticeable. Anyway this board is must have upgrade for quake live players.

"200 Hz would be a significant improvement but still not enough; the sweet spot for 1080p at 90 degrees FOV is probably somewhere between 300 and 1000 Hz, although higher frame rates would be required to hit the sweet spot at higher resolutions."
My point is the big vendors is not really interested in ultra high refresh rates at 1080p and prefer high resolutions instead. Wish I could buy 1080p@240-480Hz but I doubt it's going to happen soon.
But even then you could buy a UHD monitor and run it at 1080p and 240Hz i think. It was advertised like that for some UHD Asus monitor already a few months ago if I am not mistaken.

A couple of questions.
What is the monitor model, panel type and refresh rate reached?
It's nice to see a real user of the board, thanks for posting.
Two same panels. One from X-Star DP2414LED (X), one from BenQ XL2411T (Y). Both can 240Hz but issue happens at some point. This issue is screen going to full white. Seems like it's hardware limit of TCON and may be it needs some soldering skills (that I don't have) to fix this problem.
For me playable limits for quakelive is ~177Hz for X panel and ~216Hz for Y.
After playing 216Hz I tried default 144Hz at Asus PG278Q and it looked a little jerky :)
216Hz don't affect my game performance much.
Picture quality (much brighter at 144+ Hz) and current "going to full white" screen issue makes hard to use that board with that AUO M240HW01 V8 at games with dark graphics.
May be with other panel CMI M270HHF-L10 that can 270Hz it will be much better but I haven't unlimited funds for my hobby.
And input lag at 144Hz is great as expected. Almost exactly same input lag has BenQ XL2411T & Asus PG278Q. Will post some new thread soon with detailed measurements of full delay lag with a 1200fps camera and LED soldered to Logitech G100S button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp9TxZMKK-4
so I can buy that board and mod my xl2720z (which has similar au optronics as 2411t (?) ) for 200hz+ ? I have soldering skills and equipment as well as electronics engineer degree so following complex instructions wont be an issue.
I would not be surprised if this project will succeed. Because for 240Hz you need a panel with pixel response times 4.16ms or lower, and there are several panels that can work that fast without bad over/undershoot (3-5% or lower).
BTW manufacturers already can produce an awesome 240Hz screens now but this is illogical from capitalistic point ow view. They need to suck more money from 200-(144,165,etc)Hz products now.
For 480-500Hz, we need faster pixel response times (2.083ms, 2ms or lower), which is unavailable now.
For human eyes I think 1000Hz@1-ms would be more than enough.
Displays are always improving and some expensive monitors are already offer more than any CRT could.
About this thing, we don’t know much about this particular tech to draw a conclusion imo, but looks exciting indeed.
