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.) My monitor does not experience any buzzing.
2.) It is slow to turn on from power off state(10 seconds), but it is not slow to turn on from sleep. It takes about 4 seconds to switch inputs.
3.) The monitor is super bright, but color accuracy seems decent.
4.) HDR mode and speakers are completely useless.
5.) The stand sucks.
6.) Freesync works great with a NVidia gfx card/gsync.
Of course, I also had to take the brightness down to ~30-40 because anything else was like having a spotlight shined in my eyes. I've already taken it off my desk and put the LG back on.

How did you enable it? When I go into Nvidia control panel -> Set up G-SYNC:
1. Enable G-SYNC, G-SYNC Compatiable
-Enable for full screen mode
2. Select displays (ACEREI342CKR)
3. Display Specific Settings:
-Enable settings for the selected display model
(I) Selected Display is not validated as G-SYNC Compatible

You can tell it is working, by displaying FPS in your game and enabling the "Refresh Rate Num" under Gaming in the monitors OSD. The refresh rate on the monitor should constantly update to match the FPS. Make sure VSYNC in the game settings is turned off and you are in full screen mode. Also make sure FreeSync is enabled in the Monitors OSD under Gaming.

i actually got 2 of them ... the second arriving today.
While the original plan was to use two of them, the stand sucks (much lower than any other stand out there), and compared to a 16:9 32" samsung screen the colors are ... off.
i dont know... i just dont want to really goto the costco return lines.... as i know thats going to be a slow and long grind during the pandemic.
