Key Features
A built-in sensor is housed within the monitor's top bezel and swings down over the center top of the screen when calibration begins. This built-in sensor eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and even operates in portrait mode
Using either the OSD menu or the bundled ColorNavigator software, you can schedule the ColorEdge CG245W to self-calibrate at a specific time and at specific intervals. You can even schedule calibration for outside of work hours when your computer is turned off and you are no longer present
Since the PC itself is not necessary for self-calibration, the ability to calibrate the monitor is not dependent on using an OS supported by the ColorNavigator software. Therefore, a calibrated ColorEdge CG245W can be used with Linux even though ColorNavigator currently does not support this OS
The ColorEdge CG245W can be correlated to the measurement results of an external calibration sensor. This is convenient if the ColorEdge CG245W is used in a work environment with other ColorEdge monitors and one measurement device must be used as a standard for all calibrating
The bundled ColorNavigator software makes calibration both simple and quick. Just input target values for brightness, white point and gamma. The built-in sensor directly utilizes the monitor's look-up table and creates an ICC profile within minutes

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Features a built-in sensor for automated display calibration, eliminating the need for separate hardware.
- Supports scheduled self-calibration even when the computer is off or the user is away from the workstation.
- Calibration functionality is independent of the operating system, allowing use with unsupported OS like Linux.
- Offers correlation to external calibration sensors, beneficial for environments with multiple ColorEdge monitors.
- Bundled ColorNavigator software simplifies the calibration process with direct look-up table utilization and ICC profile creation.
👎 Cons
- The calibration sensor is housed within the top bezel and swings down, which might be a mechanical point of potential wear over time.
- While the built-in sensor is convenient, the correlation feature still implies a potential need for an external standard in some setups.
- The product title specifies "1920x1200" resolution, which may be lower than some modern high-resolution displays available today.
- Specific details on refresh rates or panel technology are not provided, which could be important for certain professional workflows.
- Dependence on bundled ColorNavigator software for simplified calibration might limit advanced customization options for some users.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this monitor require an external device for calibration?
No, the Eizo CG245W-BK ColorEdge monitor features a built-in sensor located within the top bezel that automatically swings down to perform calibration, removing the need for third-party calibration devices.
Can the monitor be calibrated when the computer is turned off?
Yes, the ColorEdge CG245W can be scheduled to self-calibrate at specific times and intervals, even when your computer is turned off and you are not present.
Is the calibration software compatible with all operating systems?
The monitor's self-calibration ability does not depend on the OS supported by ColorNavigator software, meaning a calibrated unit can be used with operating systems like Linux even if ColorNavigator does not officially support them.
Can this monitor be integrated into a multi-monitor setup with other calibration standards?
Yes, the ColorEdge CG245W can be correlated to the measurement results of an external calibration sensor, which is useful for consistent calibration across multiple ColorEdge monitors in a professional environment.
How easy is it to set up calibration with the ColorNavigator software?
The included ColorNavigator software is designed to make calibration simple and quick; users only need to input target values for brightness, white point, and gamma, and the built-in sensor handles the rest.
