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

I was more curious about the color and not the quality. I returned the Samsung the next day even tried to calibrating it for awhile.

For that price, I wanted more out of it I guess.

The colors on the LG are definitely better. Samsung doesn't even list the color gamut on their website for this model like they do the others. I suspect it's not even 99% sRGB which explains why it's washed out. I tried the different color profiles on the Samsung but it didn't make a big difference.

That said the next cheapest ultra wide with this size and resolution is about 40% more expensive at the ~$430 range so your expectations might be too high. Even the LG at $500+ doesn't beat the Samsung in all categories.

Coming from years in front of Dell U series, I can tell visually that the picture quality is inferior. The 34" VA is a bit too wide when sitting 3-4 feet away as I have to move in order to view left or right, otherwise the color shift is unbearable. It will probably be returned,

I was disappointed at first and was going to return it. I have a new windows 10 Dell desktop. I went to Samsung factory page to get current drivers. Wow that is what it needed. I like it now.
How do you install drivers for a monitor? Does it install on your local machine or actually update the monitor?

Returning mine after almost 3 weeks. Some blinking pixelation appears intermittently on the left hand corner of the screen and wouldn't go away despite driver updates, changing up cables and using display instead of hdm1. Will probably replace it with an LG.

This monitor is great for editing photos and videos. Just make sure to overclock to 95 hz and install the ICC profile.

It looks like an IPS and not a VA panel.

Kudos to Samsung for an exceptional monitor for under $300!

You install the monitor driver on your PC.

I purchased the last one from the Yorba Linda/Savi Ranch store.

I many need the larger screen for Excel spreadsheets and multiple work windows opened at the same time. It looks good so far.

I almost spent a $1,000 on a 43", but realized that this 34" monitor was wide enough to have multiple pages opened side by side.

Where can someone go about getting this ice profile?

I do not remember if it came on the disk or I googled it.

The monitor went back to Costco as whites looked almost yellowish. The downside of VA panels.

Went with the 38" Acer IPS at Costco for $799. Will get in today to see if better than my 3 - 32" monitor setup I am using now.
