The Spanish manufacturer Newskill adds and continues, and presented a new member in its family of Icarus monitors, with a catalog larger than ever with which they seek to cover all possible user needs. We are in front of the Newskill Icarus IC24VAF165with curved screen 1500R 23.6 inches, Full HD resolution and 165Hz refresh rate.
We’ve often talked about the pros and cons of curved monitors, but in general terms when you want to use the monitor for gaming or multimedia entertainment, they allow you to have the sides of the monitor the same distance from the eyes as the central part, generating a greater sense of immersion and thus improving the gaming experience.

This new member of the Newskill Icarus family wears a screen with a panel LED-VA of 23.6 inches and Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), a panel that allows it to carry ideal characteristics for gaming such as its response time of only 1 ms MPRT and its refresh rate of 165 Hz, which by They are of course compatible with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC adaptive frequency technologies.
Some users will think that because it has a VA panel the color reproduction will not be good, and while it is true that it is inferior in this respect to IPS panels, this monitor has a color coverage of 95 .9% of the sRGB space and a peak brightness of 250 nits, so color reproduction and whites and blacks are more than adequate for gaming.
One of the standout features of this monitor is undoubtedly the Curvature 1500R of the screen, which as we explained previously allows greater immersion in the game since it makes the sides of the screen remain at the same distance from the eyes as the center, thus improving the gaming experience Plus, its small footprint makes it ideal for multi-monitor setups and small desktops where there isn’t much room for large displays.
This monitor has dimensions with base included of 538.8 x 210 x 397.9mm and weighs 3.9 kg, so it is also easy to transport and take from place to place. Speaking of the base, it’s V-shaped and unfortunately it doesn’t have height or rotation adjustment, although it tilts. However, the base can be disassembled and its VESA 75 anchor can be used to anchor the monitor to a mobile arm or desk stand, which is very handy for integrating it into small PC setups.
Finally, it should be noted that the Icarus IC24VAF165 incorporates technologies to preserve visual health such as Flicker Free, which prevents flickering, and Low Blue Light, which reduces the emission of blue light so damaging to sight.
Price and availability
The new Newskill Icarus IC24VAF165 gaming monitor is now available in the manufacturer’s online store at the price of 219.95$, something that we think is quite appropriate given its characteristics. The manufacturer has stated that this model will be sold exclusively in its online store, so it is unlikely that we will see it in other stores such as Amazon or PcComponentes.
