LG Unveils First Native 1000Hz 1080p Gaming Monitor

Reviewers doubt most players will see gains without PCs that reach 1,000 frames per second.

Overview

  • LG's UltraGear 25G590B, which was announced Tuesday, is billed as the first 1080p monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate.
  • The 24.5-inch IPS screen targets competitive FPS play with a form factor common in esports.
  • LG includes Motion Blur Reduction Pro and a low-reflection film to keep fast movement sharp and reduce glare.
  • The monitor adds on-device AI for scene-based picture tuning and spatial audio through AI Sound.
  • LG targets the second half of 2026 for launch with pricing unannounced, moving 1000Hz beyond earlier 720p-only demos.
