Which color calibration tool do you use?

I have a need for something similar, but there are tons of cheap and not so cheap options out there and I have no idea which would work. I have one HDR monitor, and three non-HDR ones, but really I just want windows to look the same regardless of monitor.

color cal. tool : XRite i1Studio

Hardware side, I have an XRite i1Studio, that can calibrate practically anything (printers, monitors, projectors...). It comes with software for macs, windows and NOT Linux but (a) you can scan and get a profile .icc file with these systems then copy it into Linux and (b) on Linux there are the Argyll package, very efficient if more complicated, that do the job...
Indeed it's extremely significant to move an image from a screen to another and seeing the same colors, and more than that, then switch to any of your printers and still see the same nuances once printed. You just won't regress...
XRite also proposes quite cheaper devices for just screens but I definitely don't regret mine...
