In the second half of 2026, the magic “boundary” in the monitor segment will be broken. The new LG UltraGear 25G590B will bring an image refresh rate of up to 1000Hz.
We’ve only “recently” moved away from 60Hz screens being the standard for gaming. However, I have the impression that the jumps in technological progress have been very fast since then. We jumped from 120Hz to 240Hz, from 240Hz to 480Hz, and here we are now at a new record – 1000Hz.
That is, we are not there yet, but we will be in the second half of 2026, when LG plans to launch its IPS monitor on the market. LG UltraGear 25G590B.
It is the first monitor in the world that brings a native image refresh of a thousand hertz. The key word is “natively” because until now there were monitors that reached 1000Hz, but by lowering the resolution.
LG UltraGear 25G590B will not use such tricks but will u 1080p resolution (on a diagonal of 24.5 inches) bring an unprecedented clarity of motion picture, which should help precise aiming for the most demanding gamers.
The price has not yet been revealed, but considering that it is the very top of the high-end monitor, if you are interested in the price, then it is probably too expensive for you.
