Sure thing. Just spread some rep if you can

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.

Wow. I shouldn't feel so bad it's taken this long I guess!

Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Returning once I find a replacement. The Dell on the other hand is staying and hopefully goes on sale again @ BestBuy

1) super short crappy stand (get a vesa arm mount or a bunch of books to prop this monitor higher up...)

2) infamous "whine" when switching between applications sometimes

3) delay changing resolutions (like going into game, or PC wake from sleep). Literally like 5 seconds. There have been reports about the delay being so long that the "confirm" option after a game changes res times out before you get to select confirm or cancel...

the delay is horrible. did i mention this already? Frown

My tracking number finally updated with movement and should be here within a couple of days.

I noticed a lot of negative reviews on here. For those not satisfied with the display quality, are you using it via HDMI the provided cable? I bought my own DP 1.4 cable since Acer doesn't give you one in the box and plan on using that with a RTX 3070 via DP.

Yep, still waiting on mine to update. In transit to UPS since Dec 1st. When I ordered, estimated delivery was the 14th, so hoping it'll update this weekend and I'll still get it Monday.

i also ordered on 11/30, sat with "ups label created" till today (12/11) but it just got moving and estimated delivery is on 12/15 (from MD to Chicago). I have the dell monitor from $330 deal on black Friday, its nice but didnt blew me away so im waiting for this acer to compare, i have high hopes for the UW perspective.
