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.

Is there a good/consistent way to test for flickering?

Damn just got mine today, they're heavy. My desk isn't here yet, but checked for stuck pixels and all is well.

It's an annoying policy, can buy another at the lower price and return the originally purchased one if they won't price match. Not sure why they encourage that over price adjusting.
So people don't just buy it out like a whole month before and people who actually wait until the deal is suppose to be get it instead of people who just bought it earlier.

This is an advantage of having a 800 Credit Score.

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.
Bring you up to speed

Might be a whole lot of those open box returns if people buy up all the stock before Nov. 30th and Costco is unable to run the sale / early buyers can't do the price match... 😬

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?
I am using a USB-C to HDMI cable from my mac. I understand that HDMI only supports 100Hz. When I connected the DP cable to my mac via a Dell DA300 port replicator, it only provided a 60Hz option.
