DrewOne of the bigger downsides to Lightboost is that I can't adjust my color settings in game which leaves a very noticeable purple/blue hue on everything.
Adjust color via nVidia Control Panel, or use NCX's .icc file. Use cpkeeper to force the colors into Team Fortress 2, and viola -- the purple tint is gone! Or just get the BENQ XL2720T or ASUS VG278H, which doesn't have VG248QE's purple tint issue.
DrewIn my opinion the step up from 60Hz to 120Hz is orders of magnitude greater than 120Hz to lightboost.
Depends on how sensitive you are to motion blur. There are points of diminishing returns. For me, it's bigger jump between 120Hz->LightBoost, than it was from 60Hz->120Hz for my eyes. However, not everyone sees the improvement. If you run at a frame rate matching or greatly exceeding refresh rate, the motion clarity improvements can become quite significant when you play the "Scout" character.
For sharper motion clarity, adjust your LightBoost % setting to 50% or 10%, via your monitor's menus. (Lower % is dimmer, but has sharper motion) Here's a comparison:

(from PHOTOS: 60Hz vs 120Hz vs LightBoost)
Obviously, this chart was created for VSYNC ON motion -- not good for Team Fortress 2 since VSYNC OFF reduces lag, though microstutters can re-add a little motion blur back. Microstutters dull the comparision somewhat, but the point remains -- ultimate motion clarity occurs at LightBoost=10% (though too dark for some people).
frknWhile there was less motion blur and tracking was a little easier, there was a slight increase in input lag. I think these 2 effects effectively cancelled out as far as tf2 goes.
If you follow the new ToastyX "lightboost.bin" method (and disable the 3D steroscopic checkbox), and you turn VSYNC OFF, you will reduce your LightBoost lag further. At this point, I can no longer feel the input lag anymore. At this point, LightBoost benefits significantly outweighs the drawbacks.
You must have a good 1000Hz mouse to get the maximum LightBoost benefit, though:
1. Test strafe left/right with keyboard
2. Test turn left/right with mouse
If your mouse is not as smooth as keyboard, you need to upgrade to a 1000Hz gaming mouse. When playing at 120Hz, especially LightBoost, your mouse (stutters) can become the the weak link in motion fluidity. Also, raise hardware mouse sensitivity AND reduce in-game software mouse sensitivity (should be 5% or 10% setting in Team Fortress 2's menu), to fix mouse stutters. Then your mouse is buttery smooth, like holding down a key to move.
After fixing the mouse, the LightBoost fluidity improvement feels like a MUCH bigger jump.
There's also a new LightBoost FAQ which covers a lot of great details.
