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.

These are mounted using the "VIVO Dual Computer Monitor Desk Mount Stand Vertical Array for 2 Screens up to 27 inches (STAND-V002R)" - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
Waiting on 2nd DP 1.4 cable which will arrive tomorrow.
Definitely happy with how these turned out.
Also is this too tall using your vertical setup?
I updated drivers for both graphics card and monitor, and tried pretty much everything I could with software and monitor settings. It's worth mentioning, I tried a 165hz 1080 Asus Tuf gaming monitor (picked up at walmart for $179), and Freesync works flawlessly no flicker whatsoever (with the same cables). So this is not a problem with every VA panel. Of course, 1920x1080 is a lot less pixels than 3840x1440 so I still will give this monitor the benefit of the doubt until I can try another cable.
The cable I ordered is DP 1.4, I'll test it tonight and report back. But I have a feeling I'll end up returning this Acer monitor.
Also, some people on this thread get defensive every time someone posts about a problem with this monitor. Are you guys Acer PR or what? lol.... Obviously experiences vary from person to person, and there's the chance some of us got defective panels so no need to get defensive we're just trying to add to the discussion. Cheers!

The LG may be better for general computer work with some gaming. The Acer would be the best of both worlds.
