Carefully choose the monitor The one we accompany our gaming team with is more important than it seems. And be careful, because there are so many specifications to look at when choosing one or the other that finding the right one can be quite an odyssey. Although if we are players of competitive titles, there is one detail to take into account above the others: the refresh rate. Here the choice is clear: the more hertz, the better. AND LG breaks the mold with its new 1,000 Hz monitor.
With a 24.5-inch 1080p panel perfect for competitive gaming
The UltraGear family of LG monitors will soon grow with a new member who stands out for its monstrous amount of hertz. He UltraGear 25G590Bwhich comes with a 24.5-inch panel with Full HD resolution and 1,000 Hz. It should be noted that it is a native Full HD, compared to other monitors that drop from that resolution to, for example, 720p, to achieve higher refresh rates.
This translates into a safe bet for enthusiastic players of PvP titles (player vs player) who want to take the gaming experience to a new level and, in addition, achieve a real competitive advantage: the more hertz, the more FPS they can take advantage of and less latency (or input lag) experience. In other words: faster frame rates, faster actions and an advantage over players with “slower” monitors.
Of course, we must bear in mind that to fully squeeze those 1,000 Hz we need a high-end team that offers the highest possible number of frames per second. Desktop (or laptop) configurations with high-end graphics and processors up to the task that, by adjusting the graphic options in video games, comfortably exceed 240, 360 FPS and even more.
Keep an eye on the price, yes. For now, We do not know the official arrival date to Spain or how long it will take. (although, according to LG, during the second half of 2026 it will land in several markets to later reach the rest of the world). But we imagine that it won’t be cheap, precisely. if we take into account what other models with high hertz rates cost. Like this AOC 1080p 610 Hz that around 800 euros on Amazon. Or this other MSI, which ups the ante to Quad HD (but drops to 500 Hz), in the same price range.
