LG has released the UltraGear 25G590B B, a monitor designed to break speed records. The 24.5 inch display runs at a native 1000 Hz and overclocks up to 1100 Hz. Speed like this is not cheap, and the unit is retailing for 999 dollars.
Built for competitive esports, the display features an IPS panel running at 1920x1080 resolution. Gamers can expect exceptionally smooth motion due to the 1 ms grey to grey response time. The screen covers 99% of both the sRGB and DCI P3 color spectrums, maintaining a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Peak brightness reaches 400 nits, earning the device a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification for richer contrast.
A suite of software enhancements helps players maintain an advantage. The monitor supports NVIDIA G SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium to eliminate screen tearing. Other features include motion blur reduction, a black stabilizer, a built in crosshair, and a frame rate counter. Sound is handled via software that processes a virtual 7.2.1 surround sound experience.
The back of the cabinet houses a modern array of connectivity options. LG has provided 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and 1 DisplayPort 2.1 connection. Peripheral devices can connect through the upstream USB Type C port, and audio hardware can hook up via the 3.5 mm jack. The product is already on sale, and interested buyers can find the full spec listing on the official LG website.
