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.

There were few factors that I noticed within 15 min, and I was already feeling it's not carefully made
- Mounting the monitor to the stand was not smooth. I tried like 20 times until it fits.
- Buttons are the cheapest I've ever seen within last 15-20 years. They are like the buttons used on the testing board. They are even so hard that pressing them shakes the whole monitor a bit. Whenever I press them to switch between pc and laptop, I feel like 'what a cheap xxx….'
- The labels for the ports shows 'HDMI' for both of HDMI ports, etc. this is a very minor thing, but this kind of thing is careless, the whole product may not be carefully made.
- OSD menu takes 5 seconds to show up. Navigating the menu is a pain.
- The resolution is not recognized correctly. After some fight, I could set it to the full resolution though.
After using for 1-2 weeks. I hate this monitor. It's good that I bought and tried this early. Now it's not too late to look for another monitor deal although I already missed the dell one that I liked.
- Sometimes (randomly?) the monitor doesn't wake up when it's set to the right port. This might be related to switching between pc and laptop.
- Vignetting along the side up to 2 inches. This is surprising because it's VA panel which is even curved.
- Today, the resolution is screwed again. I even installed the monitor driver, but I cannot set it to the full resolution again. (btw, the acer website search didn't recognize the model number)
Overall I think the $350 is not slick for this quality but maybe fair. It might be ok if you use this for only one source, and all you want is 144hz wider panel for gaming no matter what J
In most cases, I just return and don't waste time to write the negative comments because it's another loss due to the product I hated. But, as I had a help from this post to get some potentially slick deal (which ended up not a slick deal), I spent time to share my experience to help others too.,

And yes, return it and not comment unless you go get a working monitor or cable.
Had a hard time in Modern Warfare as the extra panning on the side due to the ultrawide killed my controls. Almost was ready to go back to a widescreen monitor.
Then thought to increase the sensitivity on the horizontal setting (vertical sensitivity is same as before). This did the trick ..had to play around with the setting till I found the perfect number!!
Now it's much easier to pan horizontally. KDR went up. Downloading Black Ops right now and then Skyrim (might have to use the ultrawide hack though as it natively doesn't support it)
