LG launches world's 1st 1,000Hz gaming monitor
What's the story
LG has introduced what it claims is the world's first Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) gaming monitor with a native refresh rate of 1,000Hz. The new UltraGear model is designed for fast-paced first-person shooters where precision aiming and quick reflexes are critical. While it may be overkill for casual gamers, competitive players who prioritize high refresh rates in monitors will find this model appealing.
Unique capability
Native refresh rate of 1,000Hz
Unlike Samsung and Acer's recently launched 1,000Hz models that are dual-mode monitors requiring players to lower their resolution for maximum refresh rate, LG claims its UltraGear can achieve native 1,000Hz at Full HD resolution. This means the screen refreshes 1,000 times per second without any compromise on resolution. The higher refresh rate reduces lag and motion blurring/stuttering while minimizing delay between physical mouse movements or keyboard clicks and action on screen.
Design details
Monitor has AI capabilities
The UltraGear comes with a 24.5-inch display featuring an IPS panel and low-reflection film. It has a compact base for space efficiency and adjustable tilt/height for optimal viewing experience. The monitor also has a built-in hook for headset storage. It also comes with AI capabilities such as on-device AI Scene Optimization that adjusts picture settings according to genre, and AI Sound for spatial audio.
