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.

Nice! I was concerned at first the monitor would be too heavy for the arm considering it is listed above the arm's capacity of ~14.5lbs. I really had to tighten the arm's spring to make it work. Fortunately it's holding up
Hey - was there any issue mounting the monitor using a 100x100 vesa plate (with 75x75 inserts). Was worried the curvature would require me to get an adapter. Does it come with an adapter?

Hey anyone got these already and mounted them? I am wondering if my 100x100 plate (which has 75x75) will fit this. Looking at the pictures again and I'm worried.

It will mount fine. The mount is 75x75 and it comes with standoffs. Thumbsup

Thanks so much - I already received my Humanscale arms and noticed the plates were quite fat.

Do you mean the monitor comes with standoffs or your monitor stand came with standoffs?

The Acer monitor came with the standoffs. They're in a small bag, don't lose them!

This monitor is back in stock. I ordered one and am using it now. I am considering getting a second one to complete my setup. Very nice monitor.

Please update with how well your human scale arms work. I ordered Amazon basics arm (unbranded ergotron?) and am hoping for the best!

Will do - I think I like the clip on mechanism - I bought it from this ebay seller and I offered $50 each and he accepted my offer:

Waiting on my Jarvis/Karlby stand and Cyberpower PC to come in before I put everything together.

I also connected to my Mac via HDMI to USB-C cable and it recognized the monitor without any action from me (see attached).
I got a TB3>DP cable. Now I am able to get the 3440x1440 resolution using my Macbook Pro. But the refresh rate is 100Hz instead of 144Hz. Do you mind checking what refresh rate you are getting?

Quote from Fragster View quoted comment :
People keep posting confusing comments..

1) You can order the monitor now for current price
2) Since this is online exclusive, you CANNOT get price adjustment in store (Store will simply ask u to return it).
3) To get price adjustment , you have to do it ON sale day (if this ever happens). Nov 30, ..goto Costco website, sign in and fill out the price adjustment form
https://customerservice.costco.co...com-orders

4) From what I was told by CSR, as long as the item gets on sale (regardless of stock), Costco will honor the price adjustment (as long as it's filled out while promo is active in their system).

5) The difference will simply get credited back to the original form of payment.

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks for the info! LOL would be funny if this item stays out of stock and they don't bring it back.

Damn this looked good...

Does anyone know of a monitor that is 34" Ultrawide 3440x1440 120+hz but will also accept a 4K signal and downscale it and put black bars on the side to display a 16:9 image in case I wanna double on it to use it as a PS5 screen?
