Just found this monitor in store for $300 and couldn't find it on Costco's website at all.
Everywhere else this monitor is $400 (Walmart, Beach Camera, B&H, Samsung.com etc).
Costco lists it at 75Hz, all others say it's a 60Hz monitor. Will update when I open it.

Mod Edit: Back in Stock online as of 10.7

Model #LS34J552WQNXZA
Display
Screen Size (Inch) 34.1
Screen Size (cm) 86.7

In MN, only Maple Grove, Coon Rapids and St Louis Park have stock. They all have 25+. Too far for me though.

if you're doing photo work i don't think this or the Dell (especially the Dell) is recommended. The faster 100mhz+ Dell gaming monitors are not known for color accuracy. If you want that you want something like the Ultrasharps. But those have slow refresh rates. I don't think there is a solid color accurate monitor that can do 100mhz+. At least I don't know of one with good reviews. Right now my conclusion is that you should have 2 separate monitors, one for gaming and one for color accuracy. This again is if you edit colors for money.
If you got the cash, the 34" Acer Predator X34p. IPS, awesome color accuracy, 100mhz overclockable to 120. $699 at Costco.com

Can a Costco member compare the quality of this Samsung to the LG 34UM61-P (LG 34" Class UltraWide Full HD IPS Monitor) that Costco had on sale around September 2019 in North America that I bought when it was on sale for $250 USD? If you bought that LG and now got this Samsung to compare them which I'm thinking of doing. My fear mainly is this one has a VA panel vs IPS (@75hz and 5ms) on the LG 34UM61 and use it 70% work from home and web browsing and 30% for gaming on a Radeon RX 580 8GB + Ryzen 3600, so it likely would not get as good frame rate due to the resolution difference on them, even though they are both 21:9 Ultrawide. Concerned with possibly poorer viewing angle and maybe color accuracy as the LG has been pretty good there compared to a low end 32" Samsung widescreen LCD monitor that was selling at the same time at Costco last year, which I felt that one had poor viewing angle and color was not quite as good as this LG IPS. I feel pretty satisfied by the color accuracy, viewing angles and overall performance of the LG 34UM61-P. They are close to the same price so I may return the LG for this Samsung if it is the better monitor, not looking to add a second monitor just want to replace as a single monitor. Thanks!

I might just run out and get one in So Cal to compare, can't hurt.

I would keep your LG, the VA panel on this Samsung make colors look really washed out compared to my IPS LG UltraWide. Plus, little things like the stand quality, bezels, and overall build are better with the LG. I do like that this monitor is 1440p but would take the colors of an IPS over that any day.

No luck at Nashua, NH or Danvers, MA. Hopefully they're just a little slow getting stocked.

Not sure I am keeping this Sammy, the color seems washed out when comparing to the VA panel off my LG 32UL500-W. Not comparing UWQHD vs 4k in resolution, just purely on color here.

Thanks man, I will hold off on the purchase of the Samsung then over the LG UltraWide IPS.

Monitors also only have a 90-Day return window at Costco.

But IMO the extra pixels in the Samsung are worth it for almost any kind of productivity work. Well, assuming you often need more than one browser tab / applications / programs open at a time.

This is indeed a 75Hz monitor -- but only on HDMI port #2. If you plug into HDMI port #1, you only get 50Hz. I haven't verified the DisplayPort.

Monitors aren't listed in the 90-day exclusion if you read it carefully. Just had to return my LG 32" 4K from last summer on Aug 2 after it developed a dark region the size of a half dollar. Not sure if it was processed as a return or warranty.
