LG has confirmed the launch of the UltraGear 25G590B, a 24.5-inch gaming monitor with an IPS panel that offers, for the first time, a native refresh rate of 1000Hz at Full HD resolution. Designed for esports players, this model overcomes the limitations of previous generations that were stuck at 720p, promising extreme fluidity in competitions where every millisecond counts.
The technology behind the leap to native 1000Hz 🚀
To achieve this frequency without resorting to overclocking or interpolation, LG has developed a new panel driver that synchronizes pixel refresh at a speed ten times higher than a standard 100Hz monitor. The resolution remains at 1080p, a technical decision that prioritizes speed over pixel density. In competitive games like Valorant or CS2, this reduces input lag to almost imperceptible levels, although the user will need a graphics card capable of maintaining that frame rate.
1000Hz: when your eyes cry for help 😵
This monitor is perfect for those who want to see every frame of a bullet in slow motion, even though the human eye barely distinguishes differences beyond 240Hz. Of course, you'll have to explain to your family why you're paying an arm and a leg so a virtual character can turn 180 degrees with the smoothness of melted butter. And if your PC doesn't reach 1000 FPS, at least you'll have a monitor that gets more bored than you in a work meeting.
