The era of 1,000 Hz gaming monitors has arrived, but why?

LG has announced the world's first Full HD gaming monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate, the UltraGear 25G590B, which will be launched in select markets in the second half of the year. This monitor can update with a new frame every single millisecond and hits the 1080p threshold. The UltraGear 25G590B represents a decent step up from other gaming monitors that have to shift down to a relatively blurry 720p resolution to run at a full 1000 Hz.
