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.

The gaming, oh the gaming! Played 2 hours of MW and it was a blast. I also play on the Dell 3220dgf.
But, for future games coming out, widescreen will make the games more immersive.
The only monitor I would rate higher is the $1299 38" LG is going to have on Black Friday!
Looked at 4k and 8k youtube vids and the colors were popping and the motion was smooth!
This is a steal at $349, I may want to get another!

They both feel like they offer roughly the same amount of real estate and size, but with different aspect ratios.
The higher dpi of the acer definitely helps with smoother text so I can reduce font size and sit closer to this monitor so I think the dell is gonna go back.
My only gripe is that changing inputs is a major PITA. I have my MacBook connected via hdmi and my pc through display port. If only one signal is active, auto input sensing works relatively well. However when both are active and you want to manually switch, it's a 5 button press operation:
1. Click to bring up menu
2. Click to select input change.
3. Click into input selector
4. 1-2 clicks to toggle to the correct inputt
5. Step out of the menu to confirm selection.
There is no way to customize this and make input change a Hotkey/shortcut. With the dell, you can bind a specific input to one of the 4 buttons.
Anyhow, gonna live with it for a while to see if it's a keeper. I think I like the 21:9 but still getting used to it.

The wide screen is better for my eyes and neck as less moving all around to see everything on the screen.
Though, the 165hz and lower input lag on the Dell as well as the better monitor stand, may be what some folks prefer over the widescreen of the Acer. The Acer has more vibrant colors as well.
