1080p monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate: LG unveils 25G590B

LG looks set to launch the fastest 1080p gaming monitor this year. To recap, we've already seen plenty of high-refresh gaming monitors unveiled, including the Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD and the Samsung Odyssey G6 (G60H), both of which can hit 1000Hz and 1040Hz refresh rates, respectively. However, both monitors need to drop down to 720p to reach those refresh rates.

The UltraGear 25G590B is the first gaming monitor announced that can run at a native 1000Hz refresh rate without using a dual-mode feature. Specifically, the monitor supports 1000Hz at its native 1080p resolution, which means you get both smoother motion and sharper image quality than the 720p dual-mode alternatives. Needless to say, it's going to take a much more powerful PC to push 1000Hz at 1080p. That said, the 25G590B comes in an esports-friendly 24.5-inch size, which LG says "allows gamers to keep key visual elements within their natural field of view."

LG hasn't revealed the full specifications of the UltraGear 25G590B yet, but we do know it's built around an IPS panel instead of OLED, unlike many of the recent high-refresh gaming monitors we've seen. The monitor will also support Motion Blur Reduction Pro, which LG says improves motion clarity and makes "fast-moving objects sharper and easier to track." Additionally, AI features like AI Scene Optimization and AI Sound will come baked in, just like on most of LG's 2026 monitors.

According to LG, the UltraGear 25G590B will launch in the second half of 2026, but there are no pricing details at this point.
