We’ve seen 240Hz. We’ve seen 480Hz. We’ve even seen 720Hz. But this may be the fastest FHD monitor we’ve seen so far. To avoid burying the lede, LG’s UltraGear 25G590B is an IPS 24.5-inch 1920×1080 monitor with a staggering 1000Hz refresh rate.
To be clear, it’s not the first monitor out there to reach that coveted number; Acer, Samsung, Philips and AOC are among the recent names to announce monitors of that speed. But an important distinction is in the resolution; the LG Ultragear is perhaps the first to run such a high refresh rate at 1080p.
That 1000Hz is native, too, so no dual mode caveats either.
And even with the four-digit refresh rate, the monitor will come equipped with LG’s Motion Blur Reduction Pro, which aims to decrease the blur that happens when moving in fast-paced games like FPSes, which the monitor was specifically designed for.
