Sure thing. Just spread some rep if you can Wink

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.

Order on Nov 1st so you can price adjust on Nov. 30th(Cyber Monday). 30 days for price adjustment for costco.com

I looked into this and general consensus is that this WILL NOT work. Most Costco employees online are saying they are told not to honor price adjustments for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and sales for items purchased beforehand. Of course, you can risk it but there isn't any guarantee you will get the price adjusted (most said if the item goes out of stock, Costco will definitely not price adjust).

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.

Buy now and get a price adjustment on Nov 30th.

If the price match doesn't go through for whatever reason return the monitor to the store with no restocking fee.

I am thinking about this SAMSUNG 43" Class Q6DT-Series 4K Ultra HD Smart QLED TV QN43Q6DTAFXZA (2020 Model) (https://www.samsclub.com/p/samsung-43-qled-q6-series-tv/prod24580032?xid=plp_product_2) [samsclub.com] as a PC monitor. Anyone have experience using a 4K LED TV with similar specs including the 120 Motion Rate (60Hz)?

Very odd. When I click the link you sent, it brings me to a Acer page and shows the monitor and model number, but nothing will load for it. When I search myself for that model number, nothing comes up. Not even on a google search.

It is the best, if you are sitting far enough away. I tried it for a couple of months and it was causing neck aches and irritability from to much in my face.

Looked awesome though. The 34" Acer at Costco has the natural feel for looking at a monitor.

Their website has been messed up since yesterday but worked earlier this week. Just give it a little time and retry

It's been in and out for a few hours at a time. You just have to keep an eye out on their site or by following this thread. People sometimes post when it's back in stock. I suspect they will have more when we hit 11/30. I think the Costco buyers know SDers' strategy by now.
