LightBoost only works at 120/110/100 Hz.

There is a difference, but it shouldn't be a huge difference. 144 Hz takes about 6.944 ms to refresh, and you can see the entire refresh from top to bottom. 120 Hz takes about 8.333 ms to refresh, but with LightBoost, the backlight only strobes after the refresh is over. That means the top line of the screen has about 8.333 ms more lag, but the bottom only has about 1.389 ms more, so the average lag is only about 4.861 ms. That's not a huge amount.

None of the monitor options will make a difference with lag. DDC/CI is for monitor communication and is needed to activate LightBoost and control brightness. Overdrive affects pixel response times, not lag.
