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.

No smearing or anything at all. THis is Divinity: Original Sin 2. Also been playing Titanfall 2 for a bit. Looks and runs beautiful.
ANYONE RAN INTO THIS ISSUE WHERE MONITOR IS STUCK IN 60HZ OVER DISPLAY PORT?
See screenshot. I just upgraded from a 32" Acer Nitro (also via Costco) and using same display port cable ...with my 32" monitor, it was running at 165hz (over display port). Even AMD and windows settings were at 165hz.
With this new monitor, it's stuck at 60hz!!!! I've rebooted my computer as well ...GPU is a Radeon 5700XT.
TIA!

Funny the 32" Acer Nitro (now passed down to my son's rig) didn't needed that adjustment.
Gonna install MW and see enable the fps in-game and see if it's truly 144Hz or I have a ekked up monitor
Cheers brother!
This is my 1st ultrawide so for fast paced shooters like Modern Warfare, it DEFINITELY needs some adjusting (VS widescreen monitor). It's just the extra horizontal pane that you need to get used to . In all honesty, if I were a competitive CoD player, I'd stick to widescreen only.
However, playing games in ultra wide aspect is something (as long as game supports this resolution)!
Color production is very good (very comparable to IPS). I'm using HDR mode via the monitor hud.
Lastly, you need some serious GPU power for gaming at 3440x1440 at higher fps!
For reference, my rig is AMD 3700X with Radeon 5700XT with 16gb ram and in MW, I'm averaging around 80-90fps, however, game is totally fluid...this is at mix of high/med gfx game settings. I think with some textures down, etc, I may be able to push past 100fps.
Really no complaints at this point. Stand is ok for my needs. It's a brightass monitor as well!
Even if this gets out of stock and the sale never happens, I'm gonna keep this.
Some screenshots for your pleasure
The image quality more than makes up for this little quirk though. Overall still very very happy with this screen.
