Finally offered at $1,000 is LG’s insane 1,000Hz gaming monitor. – The price and US release date for LG’s incredibly fast UltraGear 25G590B have finally been announced. The 24.5-inch esports monitor can now be preordered exclusively from LG for $999.99, with free expedited shipment starting on September 1.
It is the first Full HD gaming display with a native refresh rate of 1,000Hz at 1920 x 1080 without sacrificing resolution. Up to 1,000 times per second, or once every millisecond, the screen can update. Additionally, LG allows customers to overclock it to 1,100Hz.
In reality, for whom is a 1,000Hz monitor intended?
For competitive first-person shooter players who prioritize quickness and motion clarity over resolution, this is a very specialized display. LG selected a 24.5-inch panel because it is a popular size in esports and allows players to see more of the action in their natural field of vision.
It takes more than just hooking it into a gaming PC to reach 1,000Hz. Windows 11, DisplayPort 2.1, and either an AMD Radeon RX 9070, RX 9060, or RX 7900-series GPU or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series card are required by LG. The monitor can sustain Full HD resolution at its highest refresh rate thanks to DisplayPort 2.1’s support for UHBR20 bandwidth. Although it disables FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, Motion Blur Reduction Pro might make moving targets appear clearer.
There is a catch to a less expensive option.
The Acer Nitro XV273U F5 may be the superior all-around monitor, undercutting LG by $300. Customers will have more screen space and a crisper image for games other than competitive shooters thanks to its 27-inch panel, which operates at 2560 x 1440 and 540Hz.
The formula is different, though, if you are aiming for the four-digit refresh rate. While LG maintains the image at 1080p and pushes as high as 1,100Hz when overclocked, Acer lowers to 720p at 1,000Hz. The UltraGear 25G590B is probably one of the best options available right now if you’re looking for a fast panel for e-sports games, but LG’s $1000 price is hard to resist.
