As you move up the frame rate curve, fast-moving objects appear less blurry.
There are people who are in Blur Busters broadly documented Research showing that refresh rates of 1000 Hz (and above) can reduce people’s perception of motion blur and judder. The site notes that you eventually get “diminishing returns” from all those extra frames, especially on smaller screens. some evidence that you need a 40,000 Hz monitor to completely eliminate perceived motion blur on a sufficiently large, high-resolution monitor.
Perceptual research aside, it’s unclear how many gamers are interested in spending extra money on a screen that breaks the four-digit refresh rate barrier. While LG has yet to release pricing details for the UltraGear 25G590B, other 1000Hz monitors run hundreds of dollars more than comparable models with lower (but still adequate) maximum refresh rates in the 240-360Hz range. At the same time, Monitors with Nvidia’s GSync Pulsar and similar technologies use “rolling scan” pulsed backlights to reduce apparent motion blur even on “slow” 360 Hz monitors.
LG says the 25G590B is “specifically designed for first-person shooters,” and its marketing materials mention a “sports-optimized design,” suggesting the screen is aimed at the small segment of gamers who play twitch-based reflex games for a living. For everyone, we recommend ignoring the “more is better” impulse and saving your hardware budget increasingly expensive RAM sticks.
