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.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank D.8256
I had to go manual to fine-tune the colors, but I still intend to produce another ICM file under the default Warm setting (6600K). I also plan to post the pre-calibration DisplayCal report. Stay tuned, might get it done by tonight.
Keep watch on this post for an update I guess? Post #264. I'll probably just start a new post as well once the files are ready.

Go buy a DisplayPort to USB-C cable from like Amazon for $15 to get 3440 x 1440 resolution and max refresh rate.
Are you using HDMI or DP?
What resolution and refresh rate?
What color format is your monitor set to in Windows display settings?
