The majority of panel can transition in 6.9ms. You're quoting averages.There's no click bait. If the majority of a panel can't transition in 6.9ms, it's not a 144hz panel. Period.
There is a UFO test at 11:27 where you can see the smearing...
Whether it's the best currently is debatable, but it's still bad. The M32U for example is miles faster. Also, whether you can see smearing is completely subjective and irrelevent.
You can't see any smearing in that UFO test. Go see how smearing look and how it is different from the usual LCD motion blur.
M32U is faster but it's still have loads of LCD blur and much worse color reproduction. It's also worse in terms of visible OD artifacts. So if the only thing you're sensitive to is the slight blur on motion then sure that one will be better to you personally. Me - I honestly don't see much difference in this between PG32UQ and a C1 OLED.
