1000 Hz esports monitor launches at ChinaJoy 2026

Overview

At the ChinaJoy expo in late July 2026, LG Electronics introduced its UltraGear 25G590B, a 24.5-inch IPS gaming monitor with a native 1000 Hz refresh rate (over-clockable to 1100 Hz) and a 1 ms gray-to-gray response. Priced at 7,999 CNY in China and $999.99 in the United States, the display requires DisplayPort 2.1, Windows 11, and high-end GPUs to reach peak performance. The 25G590B features HDR 400, 99% DCI-P3 coverage, and AI-driven display and audio engines. A few days later, TCL Huaxing announced its entry into the professional esports display market, unveiling a 1000 Hz monitor described as the world’s first “dual-thousand” esports screen. TCL also showcased a 27-inch 4K printed-OLED monitor co-developed with MSI. In August 2026, LG Electronics Indonesia announced the 25G590B is scheduled for release in Indonesia starting in September 2026. Concurrently, LG launched the monitor in South Korea, priced at 1.49 million KRW on its online brand shop. The device is marketed toward first-person shooter (FPS) players, utilizing Motion Blur Reduction Pro and AI features like ‘AI Custom Picture’ and ‘AI Sound’ for spatial audio. The monitor also features a stand base reduced by up to 49% to accommodate wide mouse and keyboard movements. Some marketing materials have faced scrutiny for comparing 600 Hz footage to 1000 Hz in a manner that makes the lower rate appear “blurry and less saturated” to emphasize the new product's benefits. LG has positioned the UltraGear 25G590B as the first commercially available monitor to support a native 1000Hz refresh rate while maintaining Full HD (1920x1080) resolution. Unlike previous high-refresh-rate models that required lowering resolution to 720p to reach extreme speeds, this model utilizes an IPS panel to provide both high speed and image clarity. By late August 2026, preorders for the monitor opened in the United States and South Korea.
