Amazing image quality
3x 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 projectors1.
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. 
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.
