I have been eyeing this for a long time!
How far can it be over locked?

Relatively bad reviews. At least Costco has a great return policy.

Compare to $389.97 at Amazon (LS34J550WQNXZA) - the one-digit difference in mfg model number from my research correlates to the model number used in the UK for the same product (SJ55W). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. The specs all seem to be identical.

After the 5% surcharge is applied, the cart total is still ~$15 cheaper than the most recent deal listed on this site, so I thought it was definitely worth listing! I used the opportunity to justify a membership since it's effectively 25% off...

I bought this a couple months back to compliment my AOC ultrawide and ended up returning it. I tried adjusting the picture settings for a few hours trying to get it to a sweet spot and could never get to it. The colors were very yellow on the warm profiles, very blue on the cool profile. It's also not that bright. I had it in a bright room and even 100 brightness seemed a bit dim.

If you needed a monitor for the sake of having one, this will do the job. But if you need color accuracy or brightness I would look elsewhere.

Will Costco do a price adjustment for those of us who bought it last month at $299?

Call customer service for price adjustment, worth a shot

I can't find any information about its color accuracy. sRGB, adobe RGB or anything else.
Seller or Samsung hides it on purpose?

You can always calibrate it. But, at this price, you can do no wrong. I prefer high nits IPS panels. Or high nits VA panels.

What is the return policy for monitors at Costco? Is it 90days?

This was expired frontpage before. Costco had same model in October.

Anyone know if we can get credit for the $30 manufacturer discount if it was bought last month?

I believe you can. I just submitted my price match request online today. It says 5-6 days for completion but if it doesn't come back confirmed, I'll just buy another (at $269) and return at the original price ($299). Best of luck!

I'm not really seeing anything out there under 4 stars from reviewable sites. Where are you seeing poor reviews?

There are always use case issues (I need 144Hz, I have this in a very bright room and it isn't bright enough, etc). As usual, everyone should consider their own use case and make the call.

To your point though, Costco's return policy is solid. If on the fence, pull the trigger, try it out, and return if unhappy (or another deal pops up).
