A high refresh rate on a monitor allows, if the rest of the hardware and particularly the graphics support, more fluid movement on the screen. We are at a time when it is now common for manufacturers to launch panels that reach 144Hz either 240Hzbut LG has been ahead of its competitors by announcing the world’s first Full HD gaming monitor with a native refresh rate of 1,000 Hzthat is, with the ability to update the image 1,000 times per second.
This is not something that the common user needs, who will hardly notice the difference, for example, between the 144 Hz or 240 Hz mentioned. It is about a product aimed at e-sports players who play very fast first-person shooters and need maximum fluidity and response from their team. The new monitor belongs to the family UltraGearis the model 25G590B and is expected to launch in select markets during the second half of 2026.
The UltraGear 25G590B has a diagonal of 24.5 inches and offers a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixelssomewhat low for that screen size, but it helps the hardware make the games run more easily.
In the e-sports environment, monitors with very high refresh rates are not uncommon, 480Hz or more. LG already had a model like this, a 27-inch, 1440p, 480 Hz OLED displaybut reach 1,000 Hz natively, without overclockit is not simple, as demonstrated by the 25G590B being the first consumer monitor to offer it.
According to LG, the screen’s native 1,000 Hz refresh rate allows smoother movement, faster visual updates and is basically designed to improve the clarity of movement and Maintain sharpness during fast-paced games. The monitor also has Motion Blur Reduction Pro, a feature designed to make moving objects look sharper and easier to follow during gameplay. LG adds that the screen uses an IPS panel with low reflection coating to help reduce reflections and, being IPS, it should maintain good color consistency in different viewing conditions.
Of course, the 25G590B also features AI-based gaming featuresincluding automatic scene optimization and audio adjustments. LG says these features are designed to adapt picture settings based on game genre and improve spatial audio performance when used with compatible headsets.
In terms of design, the monitor uses a compact base with height, swivel and tilt adjustments. The smaller base seeks to leave more free space on the desktop to move the mousea common configuration among professional players.
have also been added calibration marks to help users recreate their preferred position in gaming sessions or tournament environments. These are visual references on the monitor or on the base that allow you to remember the exact height that the user likes or the angle of inclination, for example.
The most important thing, the price has not been announced by the manufacturerso we will have to wait to value the UltraGear 25G590B appropriately.
