✦ AI Summary
LG Electronics has launched the LG UltraGear 25G590B gaming monitor in South Korea.
The new product delivers Native 1000Hz at FHD (1920x1080) resolution.
LG Electronics said it is the world's first gaming monitor currently sold in the market to support 1000Hz at FHD quality without reducing resolution.
LG Electronics has launched its "LG UltraGear" gaming monitor in South Korea. The launch was announced on the 26th, and the new model is 25G590B.
With the new "UltraGear," LG Electronics is highlighting the simultaneous delivery of Full HD (FHD, 1920x1080) resolution and a 1000Hz refresh rate. The product natively supports a 1000Hz refresh rate and delivers "Native 1000Hz."
That sets it apart from existing dual-mode 1000Hz monitors. Existing dual-mode 1000Hz monitors lower screen size or resolution when the maximum refresh rate is selected.
By contrast, the new product supports 1000Hz at FHD quality without reducing resolution. LG Electronics said this is the world's first among gaming monitors currently sold in the market.
LG Electronics said the new product is suited for first-person shooting (FPS) games that require fast screen transitions and precise aiming. The new product is equipped with an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel and offers the wide viewing angles and color reproduction that are strengths of IPS panels. It also applies "Motion Blur Reduction Pro (MBR, Motion Blur Reduction Pro)," a technology that reduces afterimages of fast-moving objects.
The new product also includes AI features that adjust picture quality and audio according to game content. The "AI Customized Picture Quality" feature recognizes on-screen content and then adjusts image quality, while the "AI Sound" feature delivers directional sounds such as footsteps in three dimensions when using headphones and other devices.
The product was designed with gaming environments in mind. The stand base is up to 49% smaller than that of the existing model (25G550B), in order to expand space for mouse and keyboard use. The domestic sales price is KRW 1.49 million at LG Electronics' online Brand Shop.
The high-performance gaming monitor market continues to grow. According to IDC, the global high-performance gaming monitor market for refresh rates of 144Hz or higher posted revenue of USD 2.064 billion in the first quarter of 2026, or about KRW 3.01 trillion, up 15.2% from a year earlier. The global gaming monitor market is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 6.4% through 2030.
Against this market backdrop, IDC data showed that LG UltraGear ranked first in share in South Korea's gaming monitor market in the first quarter of 2026. Lee Chung-hwan, vice president and head of the Display Business Division at LG Electronics' MS Business Division, said the new product secures the core elements gamers want — refresh rate and picture quality — at the same time.
