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 found this. Dark Matter by Monoprice 34in Curved Ultra-Wide Gaming Monitor - 1500R, 21:9, 3440x1440p, UWQHD, 144Hz. [monoprice.com].

Monitor looks identical. Specs look identical. I wonder if this Acer is using the same panel, which Monoprice claims is a Samsung LSM340Y05 VA panel, which itself features Quantum Dot Color.

Any ghosting/smearing? Performance on shooter games? Keeping or returning?

Typing this on this very monitor. The edges have the less bright light so it shows that the panel is not evenly lit to towards the edges which to me gets annoying.

I'm returning and looking for another one.

Good find! The rear oval panel covering the VESA mount is identical, as is the input panel at the bottom. Looks to be the exact same panel in the exact same casing.

Excellent and thanks! What GPU? Mine's coming on Monday and I'm hoping my new rig (amd 3800x with RX5700XT) can push out 1440p at med settings. I mainly play CoD games like Modern Warware and upcoming Cold War.

RTX 2080. I'm sure you'll get good performance with that system!

Should I get 2 of these? Anyone recommend running 2x 34 inch UWHD? I am putting together a Karlby Desk this weekend.

Got 2 of these arms for this - better than cheaper amazon ones.

any of you tech experts out there know how I can fit MORE on the screen? Mainly for thinkorswim application? I have resolution set to 1920x1080 on a 1920x1080 screen but thinkorswim is still too big. I want to scale down to shrink but scaling is already at 100% it won't go any lower. Any ideas?

Windows it self has 100% scaling as min. BUTTTTTTTTT
depending on your graphics card you can do custom, although i wouldn't recommend
IF you have NVDA. you can do Integer scaling , not from windows but from NVDA control panel.

hope this helps. if im wrong, im sure a bigger nerd than me can make corrections
older junkier models like mine wont have int scaling.
