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.

I chatted with Costco twice online and both times they said it would be possible. Of course, proceed at your own risk. I've already bought it and will do the adjustment on 11/30.

Why do you say "purchase at your own risk"? What risk is there LOL? Worst case you return it. Please clarify this "risk" you speak of

Okay, I tried calling in and then doing the online chatting and I was told by both CSR that they are likely not going to price match the Cyber Monday deals.

I'm just going to wait for the deal on the 30th to order this.

I mean, there's no risk, really.

Costco online purchases has 30 day refund/return window. Purchase now .......do a pricematch on Nov/30 ..if it doesnt work out, rebuy it and then simply return the one purchased earlier.

That's assuming they don't run out of stock relatively quickly because a good number of them were bought out by people who will try if price matching will work that day.

Should I try this one and return the dell?

Use some gaming and productivity like audio and video editing.
