Agreed on allpoints.

At this point I would not recommend a Colorhug as a sole device. At this point 
it really needs a spectro alongside, to calibrate it. This may well change in 
the future.

I have both an i1 display pro and a ColorMunki Photo. For calibration of LCD 
screens, both wide gamut and normal gamut, the i1D3 is somewhat preferable to 
the ColorMunki which has some problems with the darkest colours.
