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.

So I secured this when it was on sale.
Dell 32" at Best Buy.
https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/599846

Should I try this one and return the dell?

Use some gaming and productivity like audio and video editing.
Do you Audio/Video edit more often than game? if yes, get IPS/flat panel (i personally hate distortions at edges) if you don't play FPS games, get 4K monitor isntead.

if you want curved and high htz.
Do you notice blurs/tears when you play games? if no, keep the dell. Dell looks great.

i got Costco, just because of their warranty. crossing fingers its good as dell's monitor.

Its like that but the monitor will show up on your door step and then costco will update the order. Same thing when I bought the 32 Acer Nitro last month....no shipping update till it showed up at my house in 4 days and then got the, "item delivered " email.

Let the games begin

who else hit the trigger on these? hoping to either price match if not return within 30 days? how many did you get?

How does this compare to the AOC CU34G2X? I got 2x of those from Amazon, but having regret due to costco's excellent warranty ( 2+2 using citi card for purchasing).I also got that for $440 + tax...so at $340 and with costco warranty and return policy I think this makes it a no brainer
haha. Same thing I am repeating in every thread. You never know when you will change your mind so return policy always matters but here group of idiots, will td your comment!

I am only able to see 100 Hz when connected with to the DisplayPort. How do I see 144 Hz (could that be my old DisplayPort cable or my old graphic card that is 8-yr-old)?

Almost all gfx supports 144hz ( in game is another story). I have a old aliencare laptop with nvidia 970gtx and I use it on my 32 Acer 2k monitor and display drivers do support 144hz in windows.

I'd try a different display port cable ..I use the insignia branded cable from Bestbuy .

For people that have received this monitor, can you test the picture-by-picture option? There are reports that Acer monitors either scale down the images and adds black bars at the top and bottom, or screws up the aspect ratios.

I am going to see if there is one at my local Costco
ViewSonic shipped my VX2758-2KP-MHD's to the wrong address...2,000 miles away... blaming FedEx of course (no fraud they say... )
Costco is no risk with their return policy, who knows maybe I'll like VA again
If I get one today I'll definitely test PBP and post my results here. Considering I will need to use it for daily work (hence the previous order of two 27's) it will be one of the first things I test.

This monitor is online exclusive..just like the newer Acer Nitro series which is also an online exclusive and not carried in local warehouse.

My 32" Acer Nitro purchased from Costco online came in orignal Acer box with a ups label.

I would have ups do a hold at their office or have it delivered to office or something. And mine wasn't signature required either

Sheesh, thanks for letting me know. I'll do that when it shows as shipped with a tracking number. Unfortunately, it's reported that you sometimes don't get any update when it's shipped until it's delivered.
