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.

This seems like a great deal. Have there been better deals for a 1440p curved ultrawide?

so your dell u3415w looks better than the acer ? all the colors? but doesn't acer have better refresh rate?
Acer has better refresh rate yes which is nice for gaming, kind of nice for productivity (really just moving windows around looks cooler). For me I decided colors much better on U3415W also (compared to Gigabyte 34, same panel as this one).

A VA panel with 200+ TU's? What am I missing here?
Yeah, I think gamers and a few other users will really enjoy this monitor.

I don't know if a VA is for everyone though. I think there are many who would be happier with another panel, if they saw it in person.

Either way, don't pay attention to the thumbs. They don't mean anything anymore. And even in the old days, it was often just social confirmation, and ended in people buying things they don't need, or items that weren't the best product for their needs.

Yeah. I mean not a bad deal for people who don't care but personally I would never get anything other than an ips. There was also a laptop deal with 4600h processor for $599 I think with a TN panel and close to 200 TU's. Yuck. That's a big trade off

Because an IPS equivalent to this starts around $900. At 27" inches the IPS is always recommended due to small difference of price... but this is a significant price gap

I got this yesterday and really love the ultrawide feel. The text is crisp and good for what I do. However, when I play videos on youtube, it doesnt fill the entire screen. Is there a setting that will help with full screen view.

Thanks, forgot about that deal.

Though true 144hz w/ 1ms response time is much better than 100hz with 8ms response time.

Then factor in name brand + warranty and buying from Costco I'd say the Acer is definitely worth the extra $50.

Guessing everyone assumed they would get the price adjusted day of and bought early..

Also assuming this will be super hard to get day of with stock already being sold out..

If I see more come in should I buy right away?

Considering Costco will adjust price based on the sale price and not stock, yes, get it now if you can when (if) they come back in stock

I wouldn't be surprised if Costco replenish the stock right before Cyber Monday. Since this is a Costco exclusive, pretty sure Acer will send them more. I mean this is a win win for both Costco and Acer and if they've emptied inventory right now, this will be a sellout come CyberMonday.

I've been using mine since yesterday and love it. Had to get used to the ultrawide peripheral in gaming (Modern Warfare) but now, I can't go back to a regular widescreen panel.

However, most content like Youtube, news videos, etc are still 16:9 so the typical black bars on the side. ..however, get the "ultrawidify" extension for Chrome browser.

This is the Amazon TV show ..ZeroZeroZero.
