LG's First 1,000Hz Monitor Is Now Available, Starting at $999.99
The UltraGear 25G590B is the world's first native 1,000Hz Full HD gaming monitor, aimed squarely at competitive esports play.
Refresh-rate numbers have been climbing for years, and LG just pushed past a milestone most of the industry was still treating as a future goal. The UltraGear 25G590B is now available in the US at $999.99, and LG is calling it the world’s first native 1,000Hz Full HD gaming monitor.
What you’re getting. The 25G590B is a 25-inch Full HD (1920x1080) panel — a size and resolution combination that’s a deliberate choice for competitive players, not a budget compromise. Lower resolution means less pixel data to push, which is part of how LG gets to a native 1,000Hz refresh rate in the first place rather than an interpolated or overclocked one.
Pricing varies by region. US buyers pay $999.99. It’s listed at 999 euros in Germany, and $1,299.99 CAD once it reaches broader Canadian retail availability, expected through the rest of this month.
A pre-order perk already passed. LG offered an incentive for early buyers: anyone who pre-ordered by August 31 could get two years of LG’s Premium Care extended warranty for $1, plus 5 percent back in MyLG Rewards. That window has closed, but it’s worth knowing if you’re seeing it referenced in older coverage.
Why it matters. 1,000Hz has been a talking point since CES 2026, when Nvidia also showed off G-Sync Pulsar tech aimed at the same perceived-motion-clarity goal. LG actually shipping a consumer monitor at that number — rather than just teasing one — puts a real price and a real ship date on what was, until now, mostly a spec-sheet promise. Expect competitors like AOC’s Agon line to follow if the 25G590B sells well.
