He joined The Verge in 2021 after several years covering news at Engadget.If you just can’t choose between refresh rate and resolution, LG’s next gaming monitor could solve your problem, as the UltraGear 25G590B monitor is the first one announced that will be capable of a native 1000Hz refresh rate at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. So far, the 1,000Hz models we’ve seen have only been capable of 720p at the most, but this 24.5-inch IPS display does not have that limitation, as the company says it’s ready for esports competitors (whether they’re in an FPS orExcel), who need maximum responsiveness.We were alreadyasking if anyone could feel the effect of higher refresh rates a few years agowhen they hovered around 360 and 480Hz, but now the bar has moved higher once again.LG hasn’t revealed the 25G590B’s price or release date beyond “second half of 2026,” but said it has a “minimalist” stand, an integrated hook for headset storage, and customizable lighting. More information will be availableon LG’s website here.Of course, there are also AI-enabled features, too:The 25G590B incorporates on-device gaming AI features designed to boost both immersion and usability. AI Scene Optimization adds visual realism and depth by intelligently adjusting picture settings according to game genre, while AI Sound presents a more authentic spatial audio experience along with clearer in-game communications (when using a compatible headset). These AI-driven capabilities complement the monitor’s ultra-fast performance to create the ideal platform for competitive gaming.Follow topics and authorsfrom this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Richard LawlerGamingLGNewsPC GamingTechMost PopularMost PopularBad, Bad, Bad, Bad RoommateDisco Elysium’s spiritual successor can’t escape its phantomsElon Musk loses his case against Sam AltmanMicrosoft is retiring Teams’ Together ModeMusk v.
