LG has unveiled the UltraGear 25G590B, the world’s first Full HD gaming monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate. The 24.5-inch display is built specifically for competitive gaming, where faster visual updates can translate directly to quicker reaction times in FPS titles.
Built for competitive FPS, not just benchmarks
The 25G590B delivers its 1000Hz performance natively at FHD (1920×1080) resolution, setting it apart from dual-mode monitors, like TCL’s recently announced 640Hz panel, that require resolution or screen-size adjustments to hit peak refresh rates. That means you train and compete under the same consistent visual conditions without toggling settings.
The monitor pairs its high refresh rate with LG’s Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology, which sharpens fast-moving objects to make tracking lateral movements easier during intense gameplay. The monitor features an IPS panel with a low-reflection film for consistent color reproduction and reduced glare.
LG has also incorporated two AI features: AI Scene Optimization automatically adjusts picture settings based on game genre, and AI Sound improves spatial audio and in-game communication clarity when used with compatible headsets.
Designed for the esports setup
LG says the 24.5-inch screen size is a deliberate choice, as it’s the format most commonly used in professional esports setups. It keeps key visual elements within the player’s natural field of view without requiring excessive eye movement.
The minimalist stand has a small base footprint to maximize mouse movement space, and calibration indicators that let players precisely replicate their preferred height, swivel, and tilt settings across different setups.
LG has not yet announced pricing or a release date for the 25G590B. The company says the gaming monitor is expected to launch in select markets in the second half of 2026, with availability in additional markets to follow later.
