Technology:

3LCD The #1 projection technology in the world, with 3 chips that deliver both high color brightness and high white brightness.

3x Brighter Colors Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness (color light output), and Epson 3LCD projectors have 3x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors.

HDMI Connectivity Get both audio and brilliant HD video content with just one HDMI cable (compatible with the latest laptops, Blu-Ray and media players).

Pre-set Templates Choose from four pre-set templates or create a custom template to project lines or grids onto whiteboards or chalkboards.

Crestron RoomView Compatible Crestron RoomView compatibility allows IT managers (those who have standardized their equipment using this popular platform) to easily monitor and control network-connected Epson projectors via the same software they use currently to monitor all other projectors on their network.

Auto Iris Technology Epson's Auto Iris Technology adjusts the aperture to provide the optimum contrast and brightness for each scene.

Quick Corner This innovative feature allows you to move any of the four corners of an image independently at setup, to adjust each corner for a perfectly rectangular picture.

Built-in Closed Captioning Built-in closed captioning helps educational institutions meet ADA 508 requirements for students with hearing impairments.

Epson iProjection App Display from your iOS or Android mobile device with the free Epson iProjection App and any nearby wireless Epson projector. *Check your owner’s manual to determine if a separate wireless LAN module must be purchased separately to enable wireless connection on your Epson projector. Epson projectors can be networked either through the Ethernet port on the projector (check model specifications for availability) or via a wireless connection. Not all Epson projectors are able to be networked. Availability varies depending on model.

Why is Color Brightness Important?

What should you look for?

Look for two lumens specifications, one for Color Brightness and a separate White Brightness spec, when comparing projector models. To select a projector with vibrant color, crisp detail and realistic skin tones, look for both High Color Brightness and High White Brightness.

Compare for yourself

Color Color Brightness: 2800 lumens White Brightness: 2800 lumens	Muted Color Brightness: 700 lumens White Brightness: 2700 lumens
Detail Color Brightness: 2800 lumens White Brightness: 2800 lumens	Lost Color Brightness: 700 lumens White Brightness: 2700 lumens
Skin Tones Color Brightness: 2800 lumens White Brightness: 2800 lumens	Unrealistic Color Brightness: 700 lumens White Brightness: 2700 lumens

Low Color Brightness can result in images that are 1/3 as bright.

Actual photographs of side-by-side projected images from an identical signal source. Price, resolution and white brightness are similar for both projectors (Epson 3LCD and 1-chip DLP competitor). Both projectors are set to their brightest mode.

What is Color Brightness?

Color Brightness is a scientifically set global standard that measures a projector's Color Light Output. It was concluded that there are such significant differences in color brightness performance among different projector models and brands that color should be measured separately to provide consumers with fair and accurate information.

What does it mean to you?

The Color Brightness specification allows you to make a more informed decision when purchasing a projector. Color Brightness (or Color Light Output) measures the brightness of the colors in a projected image, not just the brightness of white. This is critically important as most projectors are used for color content, and color is a critical component of picture quality.

Where did the spec come from?

A committee of display experts, after extensive scientific evaluation, established a global standard – the International Display Metrology Standard (IDMS). The standard, published in June 2012, IDMS version 1.03, covers the three leading international display standards organizations worldwide – the Society for Information Display (SID), the Visual Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and the International Consortium Display Metrology (ICDM).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does “lumens” cover both Color Brightness and White Brightness?

No. Unless you see a separate specification for Color Brightness, you are only getting the White Brightness of the projector. Color Brightness may be 1/3 of the brightness stated.

How is Color Brightness determined?

Color Brightness (Color Light Output) is measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4.

Can there be a difference between Color Brightness and White Brightness?

Yes. For example, a projector with 3000 lumens of White Brightness may only have 800 lumens of Color Brightness. Image quality can vary greatly, even among projectors at similar price points and with traditional specifications – you may not get what you paid for. Color Brightness may be 1/3 of the White Brightness stated. Look for separate Color Brightness and White Brightness specifications to ensure you get the best overall image quality for everything you display.

Are LED lumens different than regular lumens?

No. A lumen is an international standard measurement of light output, regardless of the light source.

Why can't I find Color Brightness as a published specification?

Not all projectors have both High Color Brightness and High White Brightness, and many manufacturers may not want you to know their projectors may be 1/3 as bright when it comes to color.
