Sure thing. Just spread some rep if you can Wink

Calibration was aiming for 6500K with gamma set to 2.2. So I calibrated with a brightness of 40, contrast 50, black boost 5. Color 2.2, color temp set to User, R Gain 48, G Gain 47, B Gain 47.

It's said you can adjust brightness without affecting the temperature or colors much. Rtings calibrates at 100 nits actually (for those that don't know).

Uploaded the .icm file and the DisplayCal report post-calibration.

I can try to calibrate again under the Warm color temperature setting. I think it should be more universal, and at 6600K it's already close to my target of 6500K. Just keep in mind the whole procedure takes roughly an hour, so give me a day or two if anyone is interested.

Slickdeals site doesn't allow me to upload .icm files, so I uploaded to Google Drive.

I looked into this and general consensus is that this WILL NOT work. Most Costco employees online are saying they are told not to honor price adjustments for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and sales for items purchased beforehand. Of course, you can risk it but there isn't any guarantee you will get the price adjusted (most said if the item goes out of stock, Costco will definitely not price adjust).

This deal is super tempting but I will play it safe and hold out to the 30th just in case a similar Dell monitor goes on sale.

Edit: also found out that even using the Costco Visa Rewards CC will not qualify your purchase for the price rewind. It only applies to other stores' prices, not to Costco.

Just checked with Costco.com customer service via. chat and they noted the price adjustment for lowered pricing within 30-days of purchase will work even on Cyber Monday. And in the case it doesn't, just return it and buy it at the discounted price on November 30th. You can't lose with Costco! Cool


So spec-wise they would probably be comparable 1:1, the big win with this would be the convenience to just walk into any Costco at anytime and return for a full-refund in case any product issue or you just don't want the product, Costco would definitely be most accomodating.


Just looked at the specs on that Samsung vs. this monitor. This is a curved ultra-wide vs. normal ultra-wide (a bit more immersive and you won't need to turn your head so much to follow the entire monitor when sitting directly in front of the monitor). The Samsung refresh rate and response rate are 75Hz/4ms vs. 144Hz/1ms of this monitor. So the most important specs are a bit better on this monitor.

If what you say is true, this comment should be upvoted more. Do you have a chat history you can post in case we decided to take the plunge and have something we can use to back it up? But like you said, shouldn't be that be of a deal to return it and reorder right?

Also, if this panel is similar to the curved non ultrawide Nitro version, then it should be VERY good for a VA.

I have the 32" curved non ultrawide (also released at Costco some months ago and appears to be a Costco exclusive for Acer). Very minimal banding and no ghosting from what I've seen. I play Modern Warfare every night and no issues with ghosting/lag. AMD sync works brilliant.

Any idea how quickly you're approved for price adjustment? Will you know the same day, or do you only know it was approved after you get the credit back on your card within 3-5 days?

I get flickering on it. This screen looks to be of better quality, better brightness, does HDR, and is 144hz.
Thanks for the info. Was sad I missed out on the deal and tried out a 43" 4ktv which seemed way too big.

I want to use this for gaming and work. For work when I share screen is there an option to share half the screen? Don't want it to look super small for my coworkers
I have a similar question, but typically you can share a specific window instead of a screen. That should address any potential issues.

I called and they couldn't give me a firm answer. Wouldn't be surprised if they implement that this season.

Great specs for monitor. I believe price adjustment would be from when you receive monitor vs order online. The date you receive it should start clock (it does from a returns standpoint at most places).

Any thoughts or experience on the compatibility with Nvidia Gtx 1660ti which supports Gsync. But i know it works with some free syncs.

Is this monitor real 1ms, or do you have to use overdrive to get it?

Wish I could trust that I would be happy with the VA panel. I have a 27" Acer IPS 1440p 144hz and love it but want to go ultrawide. I wasn't happy with my last VA, an HP Omen 32" 1440p.
