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.

Site hangs when I enter the product page URL. Are there any other trackers that might work?
Tried yesterday, no go. Just tried again today, still hangs. Multiple products too. Not sure if PriceCase is having issues in general, or just with Costco tracking. Maybe it's the issue that the product is already out of stock so there's nothing to track? I would keep trying. Sorry Confused

Aside from costco lifetime warranty, any thoughts on this? 8% CB + 5% Paypal could push this to around the same price.

No Speaker, but who wants a 2 watt speaker now days anyways...

Half the inputs on the Lenovo (1 HDMI and 1 DP). Basic Freesync on the Lenovo vs Freesync Premium Pro on the Acer. Money back guarantee for a minimum of 2 years with Costco, 90 days with Lenovo and after that good luck with the warranty support.

It does look better built though. Still, I'd stick with Costco. Or if you have the cash, life is too short -- try both and return one.

What do you all think? I bought my kids a new Alienware desktop with an i7-9700 with an RTX 2070 Super. Are they going to be happy with the frame rates of Call of Duty type games running at 3440x1440? Or should I just get a 2560x1440 monitor? I would rather just spend the $50 more for this as a good long term purchase but if they are going to be complaining about the frame rates I'll settle for the lower resolution. Thanks!8.5.2

Radeon 5700XT here which I think is comparable to 2070. Running at 2k ultrawide resolution with mix of "normal"/"low" game settings and getting about 90fps on average.

However, my kdr has dropped somewhat as with the extra horizontal pane, you have to pan the screen more ...I'm still adjusting my sensitivity to counter the extra panning on the sides.

In all honesty, if I were a competitive gamer, I'd stick to non ultrawide.

Posting some ultrawide "porn". As I said earlier, those that don't know, get the "UltraWidfy" google chrome extension and you can enjoy the ultrawide aspect in Netflix/Youtube, etc.

MW running at 1440p ultrawide resolution (menus are 16:9 but once map starts, it changes to 21:9 aspect). Most newer games should support ultrawide aspect..however, new CONSOLES DO NOT!! Don't expect to get the new PS5 or Series X for ultrawide support. There's none.

Assuming your 970 has an HDMI 2.0 or Displayport 1.2 port you can run the monitor at 3440x1440 at 100hz. Not full refresh but it will function fine.

Out of Stock right now. Will this monitor be stocked again? I was waiting to buy it on 11/30 so I can get it at discounted price, but it seems like everyone is just taking advantage of the price adjustment.

CoD games aren't really that demanding. I have a 2070 Super and an Acer X34 Predator and it wipes the mat with CoD. Buy it imo. 2560x1440 is nice but to me with prices coming down on the 34" 3440 monitors and 4k monitors in general, I'd opt for one of the latter two resolutions.
