The ColorHug is a colorimeter designed to calibrate screens with an approximately-sRGB gamut. If you're trying to calibrate a wide-gamut screen with a ColorHug it isn't going to work very well. If you need to do anything other than consumer hardware you need to use a spectrophotometer (that can do spectral profiling) rather than a colorimter that's calibrated to different primaries than what it's trying to measure. A spectro is going to cost you at least $300, and a good one is going to cost you somewhat more.

I get what you're saying, but when he plugged it in it didn't work. Even if he was trying to do what it's supposed to do he would have had problems.

I'd like to add I'm completely appreciative and thankful of what you're doing.

The BenQ monitor used in the article appears to be just "100% sRGB‎" and not wide-gamut.
