StudioMatch does not check minimum values, only maximum ones. Since all it does is define a gamma, whitepoint, and luminance for all displays, and this is not working for you, just use the standard mode, and set both displays to the same values, which both can reach, and you'll be done.

I am not aware of it having a ten percent buffer, though having at least a small buffer would be appropriate, to assure that all displays continue to be able to reach the target value over time.

I did a calibration of both of my monitors to 100 cd/m2, 6500K, 2.2 Gamma and the two monitors appear visually to be the same or extremely close. I decided to try the Studio Match function but am having a problem specifying the brightness level.

When I try to override this to 100 or 99, it still shows the target of 89 after taking a reading. Both monitors are capable of a brightness greater than 100 cd/m2.  I do not seem to be able to override the suggested setting of 89.
