A VA panel with 1ms response time? When did that happen?

I have https://www.samsung.com/us/business/products/computing/monitors/g-series/cfg73-series-27-curved-lc27fg73fqnxza/ which is a 1MS VA panel(according to samsung), the model before this, C27FG70 came out a year before, also has 1ms response time.
From what I can tell, they can only achieve 1ms MPRT while using strobe mode though? And reviews of strobed mode show too much crosstalk, which means actual GtG response time isn't great. It's worse than the IPS-type 165Hz panels, actually. To me it looks like they found a loophole to be able to claim 1ms response, which is only really possible with TN panels at this time. It seems to be similar to what they used to do with contrast specs, whey they said 1.000.000:1 ratio for a TN :-/

Yeah, the say it is 1ms MPRT but does not match my Benqs 27" BBR in terms of crosstalk and general feel. I know bc I have Benq XL2720Z and my son has C27FG73. BUT...colours and blacks are so much better... I am waiting for some review of new MSI 24 0.5ms response time screens(240Hz). They TN, but ppl reported more vivid colours and better angles, so maybe some IQ improvements to old tech. And they should have blur reduction too.

I have the FG70, and while the response time is over promoted and probably not technically precise, these VA panels are very solid performers, i never owned an IPS but from TN to this its like another era. 80+Hz on freesync has a noticeable effect on motion perception and comfort. Beyond 95 Hz/FPS motion looks uncanny and only helps ghosting on fast moving pixels.

Curved screens are becoming a gimmick when applied to small monitors. Only monitors that can make use of the curvature are the larger ultra-wides.

MSI seems to have changed the monitor and newer versions should now come with adjustable stand. I'm getting mine today, hopefully it's this newer model with adjustable stand. Source came from an unboxing video. I'll look it up and post it here. EDIT: Ok i read it wrong lol, seems to be only tilt.
