  How do you propose you sanity check numbers beyond checking whether or not they’re within a sane range, i.e. a hardcoded limit? It’s not like you can trust a monitor that’s potentially feeding you bad values to limit the number of bad values it gives you.

    I can though.If all the profiles are garbage it’s beyond saving anyway, a single outlier can be ignored.

      If all the profiles are garbage, then:

      • it would be bad UX to start using one of the garbage profiles and declare that the monitor’s now working.
      • it would be better UX to notice all the profiles have nonsensical values, fall back to a basic one all monitors typically support, and display an error message.

        Uh, you can’t just use a profile that doesn’t exist
