The era of 1,000 Hz gaming monitors has arrived, but why?
Summary
Ars Technica reports LG’s 24.5″ UltraGear 25G590B as the world’s first native 1000 Hz Full HD gaming monitor, with a planned launch in select markets. The article situates this 1,000 Hz panel in the ongoing ultra-fast refresh race, citing Blur Busters research that higher Hz can reduce motion blur but with diminishing returns, and comparing with other models that require downscaling to achieve higher Hz. It notes that Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar backlight tech can help reduce blur on slower displays, and that LG targets esports players, while suggesting mainstream buyers consider overall system cost, including RAM, rather than chasing the highest refresh rate.
