With the UltraGear 25G590B, LG is significantly raising the bar in the gaming monitor market. The manufacturer presents the world’s first Full HD monitor with a native refresh rate of 1,000 Hz. The new model should deliver advantages in terms of response time, motion sharpness and image clarity, especially in competitive e-sports. The hardware is complemented by AI-supported features and a design tailored to professional gamers. LG is thus clearly positioning itself in the high-end segment for ambitious FPS gamers.
- Native 1,000 Hz refresh rate without dual-mode technology
- 24.5-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution and anti-reflective coating
- Motion Blur Reduction Pro for sharper motion display
- AI functions for automatic image and audio optimization
LG UltraGear 25G590B brings native 1,000 Hz to e-sports
With the LG UltraGear 25G590B, LG introduces a new level of performance for gaming monitors. While many current high-end displays only achieve high frame rates using special dual-mode technologies or reduced resolutions, the new model works continuously at a native 1,000 Hz in Full HD. This means that the monitor refreshes the image up to 1,000 times per second, which can be particularly relevant in fast-paced multiplayer titles such as Counter-Strike 2, Valorant or Overwatch 2.
The main advantage lies in the sharpness of movement and the minimized input delay. In professional e-sports in particular, milliseconds often make the difference between scoring and losing. According to LG, even fast camera pans and hectic movements remain clearly visible. This is also supported by Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology, which is designed to further reduce motion blur.
The focus on Full HD seems plausible, as extremely high frame rates can currently only be consistently achieved at lower resolutions, even with powerful hardware. For professional gamers, maximum performance often comes before graphic depth of detail anyway. The IPS panel used should also offer stable colors and wide viewing angles, while the anti-reflective coating reduces distracting reflections.
Gaming monitor with AI functions and e-sports design
In addition to the extreme frame rate, the LG UltraGear 25G590B is also clearly aimed at e-sports gamers in terms of ergonomics. The 24.5-inch format has been the preferred size in the professional competition sector for years, as all relevant image information remains in the field of vision without major head movements. At the same time, the compact stand allows more space for sweeping mouse movements at low DPI settings.
The stand can be flexibly adjusted in height, tilt and swivel angle. This makes the monitor suitable for both classic desk setups and tournament environments. LG has also integrated several AI functions directly into the device. The “AI Scene Optimization” function analyses the displayed game genre and automatically adjusts image parameters. For example, contrasts or brightness are dynamically optimized.
There is also “AI Sound”, which is designed to improve spatial sound and clearer voice communication in conjunction with compatible headsets. More precise audio information could be particularly beneficial in competitive team games. However, only practical tests will show whether these functions actually stand out noticeably from traditional software solutions in everyday use.
With a recommended retail price of around 999 euros, LG is clearly positioning the UltraGear 25G590B as a premium model for ambitious e-sports enthusiasts. However, in view of the unique 1,000 Hz technology, the pricing seems understandable in the current high-end market.
Conclusion
The LG UltraGear 25G590B marks a technical milestone in the field of gaming monitors and should be of particular interest to professional e-sports players. Native 1,000 Hz, low motion blur and AI-supported optimizations clearly show where the market for competitive gaming is heading. At the same time, Full HD remains the logical choice if such high frame rates are to be used sensibly at all. The monitor will be available for pre-order in Germany from July 30, 2026 and is expected to cost 999 euros.
