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
I somehow feel the display is not good. I am not sure if its issue with my settings or bad panel or its really not good display to look at. This is what gives me second thoughts if I should keep it or not!
I find it more useful to hear what others have to say about using the monitor and if it is worth it for the price.
The screen looks IPS and not VA, the HDR is great when gaming, just do not turn on HDR in windows, makes the colors look dim.
Text is sharp and it gets super bright. Almost looks as good as an iMac screen, not quite, but almost.
This hits almost all the marks I was looking for in a monitor. I am going to keep this and sell my Dell s3220dgf as well as my 43" LG ips 4k TV. Both great options as well.
Ultrawides just seem to feel natural to my eyes and less head movement.
Looking to go up to a 38" in the future when the prices drop on those.
After receiving the item, contact seller within: 30 days
Refund will be given as: Money Back
Return shipping: Seller pays for return shipping
Refer to eBay Return policy for more details. You are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee if you receive an item that is not as described in the listing.
Then if you look at the eBay return policy it states:
If your item arrives damaged, doesn't match the listing description, or is the wrong item, you can return it for a refund. If you've changed your mind and want to return it, you can ask the seller if they'll accept a return.
So if something is wrong with your product, yes you might have better luck with the added eBay level of protection versus ordering straight from Newegg. However, if you want to return just because you don't like it, sounds like Newegg can still say no.
