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.

1) Depending on how old the PC (video card) is, it might not either be able to support higher than 1920, OR it might not be recognizing the monitor's resolution capabilities, and limiting to a default ceiling.
2) Because the native resolution is 3440x1440, every resolution that isn't perfect integer multiple to that, or put black bars on the sides to shrink screen size, will look fuzzy...no way around it unfortunately.

Totally agree with you, it is an awesome monitor!

Are you using HDMI or DP?
What resolution and refresh rate?
What color format is your monitor set to in Windows display settings?
A few additional questions as I'm looking to replace 2 x 23" office monitors with 1 x 34" ultrawide: 1) Is moving to a single ultrawide monitor recommended (can it easily replicate the dual monitor functionality & feel on Windows 10 via Snap/other) for non-gaming/office functions? 2) Is it recommended to avoid a docking station and plug the monitor directly into the laptop via HDMI? 3) Do I really need a 3440x1440 with 144hz for office work?
Thanks in advance for the input.
Only negative is it doesn't come with display port cables and it's not height adjustable. I had to buy a nice wide glass monitor stand and DP 1.4 cable from Amazon.

Also just buy a Display port cable that can do 8k and is DP 1.4
Cable Matters 8K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (DisplayPort 1.4 Cable) with 8K 60Hz Video Resolution and HDR Support - 6 Feet
