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.

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'm definitely keeping this strictly for gaming now.

Can anyone who bought this confirm if it had issue like the one above I quoted.
thank you.
thank you.
How did I miss that. Looks like there are no issues.
Thank you
-It was a pain to install it.
-The bottom of the stand doesn't feel very secure to the top.
-You can't really tilt the monitor horizontally.
-You can only tilt it vertically.
-You can't lift the monitor to sit higher or lower and the bottom is only about 3 1/4 inches from my desk.
Am I missing something here? It is the worst monitor stand imageable in my opinion.

I have no issues with text quality on it, but maybe I don't know any better. (I am using it next to two 17" MBPs and it's obviously not as good as the Retina screens, but that's expected.)
One thing to note is that the VESA mount isn't centered on the monitor--it is more towards the top of the screen. This caused issues with my particular arm mount, but obviously that depends on your set up.
Overall very happy and going to return the Samsung 34" tomorrow.
On the bright side, my CyberPower gaming rig (off the Bestbuy deal over the weekend) just arrived today.
