LG has announced the UltraGear 25G590B, a 24.5-inch gaming monitor with Full HD resolution and a native 1000Hz refresh rate. The company claims this is the world's first Full HD gaming monitor introduced by a consumer electronics brand with native 1000Hz support.

Unlike dual-mode monitors that lower resolution or change screen settings to reach their fastest mode, the 256590B runs at 1000Hz at 1920x1080 by default. This is the main difference compared with earlier 1000Hz-class displays, including Philips and HKC models that used 720p modes for their peak refresh rates.
24.5-inch IPS panel for FPS games

LG says the monitor is aimed at FPS and esports players. The 24.5-inch size is commonly used in competitive setups, as it keeps more of the screen inside the player's field of view. The monitor also includes height, swivel and tilt adjustment with calibration indicators on the stand, which should make it easier to repeat the same setup across practice and event systems.

The UltraGear 25G5908 uses an IPS panel with a low-reflection film. LG also lists Motion Blur Reduction Pro, a feature meant to improve the clarity of fast-moving objects. The company has not yet shared the full panel specification, response time, brightness, inputs or VRR support.

LG is also adding on-device Al features. Al Scene Optimization adjusts picture settings based on the game genre, while Al Sound is meant to improve spatial audio and in-game voice clarity when used with compatible headsets.

LG says the UltraGear 25G590B will launch in select markets in the second half of 2026. Availability in more markets will follow later in the year. Pricing has not been confirmed.

I was all onboard until I read 1080P.

Hard pass.

This is surely far beyond what even an esports gamer can see even after his pre-match line of G Fuel cut with adderall and modafinil.

Enjoy the crystal clear motion of an 800:1 contrast, no local dimming, matte, 24.5" HD screen!

Next-gen BFI for high refresh rate (~240hz) OLED and high end LD LCDs is whats needed to have a good balance of motion resolution and contrast imo.

When they can't afford or dont want OLED in the size they're after, I advise people buying gaming TVs to chose VA over ADS panels because they're going on about high PRT and black smearing and then they see the contrast of a modern VA panel TV combined with high brightness and good LD for amazing HDR they forget all about the PRT/smearing.

My TV is notoriously bad for smearing when solid black is next to light low brightness colours, but that happens so rarely its a once a month/100 hours scenario that I notice for 10 seconds and then move on.

I was playing The Talos Principle 2 last night and it happened with some black vines over the top of a shadowed grey wall, I looked for 5 seconds and then went back to marvelling at the overall HDR presentation of the game.

I'll never understand the fascination with motion resolution over contrast, once I saw a good LCD I never wanted to go back lower contrast and I have my qualms with OLED but its objectively overall way better again so I cant imagine anyone going back to IPS from OLED.

I am legit curious, but rather than throwing all these frames, I'd love to see monitors go and try to better implement better options such as BFI.

Right now BFI comes with too many compromises. No HDR, dimming of screen and a fixed refresh rate (which is fine if you can hit that target)

Like rolling scan. It'd be nice if they'd implement that to get crt like motion clarity with 60fps input.(Which is from what I understand what g-sync pulsar actually is.)
