Amazing image 
quality3x Brighter Colors with Epson1 
Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness (color light output), and Epson 
3LCD projectors have 3x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors.
1
One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. A projector’s specification needs 
to show both high color brightness and high white brightness. If color b\
rightness is 
lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and lose detail. If not provided, 
be sure to ask for a projector’s color brightness specification. 
3LCD — The #1 projection technology in the world
•	All 3LCD projectors have both high color brightness  
and high white brightness
•	 All 3LCD projectors have 3 chips
•	 25% lower power consumption for lower energy costs
4
•	20 years of road-tested reliability
Remarkable resolution for brilliant clarity and detail
Resolution defines the level of detail and depth you’ll see in a pr\
ojected image. It’s 
measured as the number of pixels wide by the number of pixels high. The more pixels, 
the better the detail.
Actual photographs of 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.

Compared to leading 1-chip DLP business and education projectors based on NPD data, July 2011 through June 2012. Color brightness (color light output) measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4.   
Color brightness will vary depending on usage conditions. 
2   Color brightness (color light output) and white brightness (white lig\
ht output) will vary depending on usage conditions. Color light output measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4; white light output measured in 
accordance with ISO 21118. 
3   ECO Mode is up to 6000 hours. Normal Mode is up to 5000 hours. Lamp life\
 will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions and usage. Lamp brightness decreases over time. 
4  Data source: ProjectorCentral.com Jan. 2013. Average of 1128 shipping models for which the manufacturers provided lumens and total power data, all resolutions and brightness levels. Energy efficiency was 
measured as wattage per lumen. It was measured for both 3LCD and 1-chip projectors in each of five brightness segments. 3LCD projectors averaged less required electricity per lumen in each of the five segments.
5  Among people who had a preference, 9 out of 10 preferred images from 3LCD projectors over leading 1-chip DLP business and education projectors.  
Leading projectors selected according to NPD data as of July 2013. Based on independent U.S. research conducted by Radius Research (July 2013).
