    Easy - When it "works"
    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.
