I recently picked up two LG 32UL950-W monitors and was a bit underwhelmed with the out of box picture compared to the other LG 4K monitors I have owned. I did a lot of research and tried calibrating manually, but after quite a bit of effort, it still wasn’t right. This colorimeter was delivered next day, and within 20 minutes of unboxing I had both displays calibrated and looking amazing, giving me the performance I had expected. The option at the end of calibration to show some reference images with calibration on/off to see the difference is nice as well.
Overall, if you’re spending the money on high end displays, make sure to spend a little extra on this colorimeter to get every bit of performance out of them. It was a night and day difference once calibrated, and both displays match perfectly. Highly recommended!

I use two monitors connected to my work laptop and my home desktop. One monitor is newer and has HDR capabilities. Was able to calibrate the monitors via my home desktop just fine as the video card does not support HDR. When calibrating the HDR compatible monitor via the work laptop, I received the errors pictured and it created a profile which skewed all the way to yellow. For fun, I turned off the HDR options in windows display panel for that monitor and was able to calibrate just fine. The directions are minimal and there is no support on the website for the errors received. For $200+, I'd expect the software to handle this scenario which is why I went with a 3 star rating.I will say that once I figured out the HDR portions, was able to get my screens to look close to identical from a color, brightness, and contrast perspective.
