Overview

The CG245W is a new wide gamut monitor from Eizo that features an automatic recalibration ability. It has a very wide color gamut, encompassing more than the AdobeRGB gamut, it has good uniformity across the screen on all colors, a top notch IPS panel giving a wide viewing angle, it can handle moving pictures with speed, and it also has a DisplayPort input which is a vital link in the chain of signal processing which makes it possible to view images in higher than 8-bit resolution. It has what is becoming the usual assortment of desired features on high end displays: It is a wide screen (20 inches wide) which allows for 2 sheets to sit side-by-side in your display area, has high-bit internal color processing to reduce banding.

Self-calibration with Swing Sensor

Built into the top bezel of the display is a sensor for calibrating the display. This "swing sensor" is programed with the Eizo ColorNavigator software and swings down to take color measurements about an inch from the top of the screen. It's not clear what kind of sensor this is, but it has been used for some time on Eizo's line of displays for the medical market. In the high end graphics market, this first-of-its-kind sensor now makes it possible to ensure that a display is automatically calibrated with or without any user intervention. The ColorNavigator settings allow you to use the internal swing sensor or any of the regular external sensors that ColorNavigator supports.
