You Probably Don't Need a 1,000 Hz Gaming Monitor
LG says the 24.5-inch panel is built for esports players and adds Motion Blur Reduction Pro, AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound.
On Monday, LG Electronics unveiled the UltraGear 25G590B, the world's first gaming monitor with a native 1,000Hz refresh rate at FHD resolution.
Unlike dual-mode competitors such as TCL's 640Hz panel, which requires resolution adjustments to reach peak refresh rates, the 25G590B maintains FHD clarity at 1,000Hz natively.
The 24.5-inch IPS display features Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology, which sharpens fast-moving objects, while a minimalist stand with calibration indicators maximizes mouse movement space.
Lee Choong-hwoan, head of the Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, called the monitor a "defining moment for gaming monitors" with AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound features.
LG has not revealed pricing but confirmed the monitor will launch in the "second half of 2026," with availability initially in select markets before expanding globally.
