LG has whipped up what it believes to be the "world's first" 1,000Hz 1080p gaming monitor, and the only question in my head is a resounding "why?" I don't like being a grump when it comes to absurd refresh rates made for esports-style gaming, and I do dabble a little in Overwatch myself. Nevertheless, I'm not convinced it's a panel even competitive players will care about right now.
Introduced in a press release, LG claims the 24.5-inch UltraGear 25G590B is the "world’s first Full HD gaming monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate." By that, the screen maker means it's not leveraging dual resolution modes and integrated scaling to dial down a 4K screen to 1080p to achieve faster speeds, meaning the lucrative refresh rate is a default trait.
