LG introduces first native 1000Hz Full HD gaming monitor

LG has introduced the UltraGear 25G590B, which it claims is the world's first Full HD (1920×1080) gaming monitor featuring a native 1000Hz refresh rate. Aimed at competitive esports and first-person shooter titles, the display delivers default 1000Hz performance at its native resolution without requiring dual-mode adjustments or resolution reductions. 

The monitor is built around a 24.5-inch Full HD IPS panel outfitted with a low-reflection film to reduce glare. LG has integrated its Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology to improve the tracking clarity of fast-moving objects.

On-device AI functionality for gaming is also built into the hardware. LG states that the monitor includes AI Scene Optimization, which automatically adjusts picture settings based on the game genre, and AI Sound, which processes spatial audio and enhances voice clarity when paired with compatible headsets.

The monitor features a minimalist stand with a reduced footprint and calibration indicators to adjust and replicate height, swivel, and tilt configurations. Additional aesthetic features include customisable UltraGear Emblem ambient lighting.

The LG UltraGear 25G590B is scheduled to launch in select markets during the second half of 2026, with further regional availability rolling out through the end of the year.

KitGuru says: Would you buy a 1000Hz monitor knowing it's limited to a Full HD resolution?
