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.

Order on Nov 1st so you can price adjust on Nov. 30th(Cyber Monday). 30 days for price adjustment for costco.com

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.

Highly doubt it. Costco models are different as they have a direct contract with manufactures so Costco models have unique #'s so other retail stores can't do a price match.

Same with the other curved 32" Acer that Costco started carrying (I own it) last month and there's only 2 places that have it..Acer website and Costco. Both are 144hz variants with HDR 400 support.

Comparable at $219, but slower refresh rate.
This thing has a 2560 x 1080 resolution, which is terrible for a 34" monitor. Not comparable.

Are there any real reviews of this monitor? I want it for gaming with the new generation but can't find anything. I've been on 1080p BenQ's (low input lag TN panels) this whole gen and can't wait to upgrade.

I can't speak for this one specifically, but I have a 1000R monitor and a 1500R monitor and I frequently use excel sheets for grad school without any issues. YMMV though
Noticeable difference between the 1000R and 1500R? More immersion? What's your preference?

How far back from them do you sit? Which mount do you use? Sounds like a cool setup!
I sit back about 24-30" from the screens. This [amazon.com] is the stand I'm using.

But monitors purchased from Costco supposedly fall under their electronics return policy which is lifetime. The appeal here is Costco's return policy / customer service. From what I've been hearing recently is that returning or RMAing something with Newegg is a huge pain in the ass.

Newbie question,

Why isn't the LG getting attention?

LG 35" Class Ultrawide Curved WQHD HDR10 Monitor
Item 8356500 Model 35WN65C-B.AUS

Mainly because of LG having higher response time (5ms) and lower refresh (100hz)?
where do we see the deal for LG? Can you give a link?

Got the Dell S3220DGF at best buy and liking it so far. Its got a fully adjustable mount and the build quality is great. This doesn't have that much more screen space that would make me change over.

I am planning different setup now. Instead of investing that much on a single computer and having just 32" of screen, I am planning to use office kind of setup with two 24" monitors with this stand
https://www.amazon.com/WALI-Stand...B018MU3SAS
and cheapest 22" monitors also I see on costco site https://www.costco.com/acer-nitro...81498.html
I don't play games. It is just for office work. and 22" * 2 means 44" (approximately or at least bigger than 34" )of screen space and just $89*2 + $35 = $205 approximately for both monitors and a stand.

by lifetime, you mean 90 days

I'm not 100% but I think the other guy was right about lifetime. Monitors are not listed in the 90 day police
