AMAZING COLOUR AND IMAGE PERFORMANCE
The EP1080 incorporates BrilliantColor™ Technology and Pixelworks’ 10-bit colour processing to ensure the images displayed are always smooth and natural.  
Optoma is so confident of its colour and image performance that we guarantee our projector will retain its vibrancy and precise picture performance. 
BRILLIANTCOLOR™
BrilliantColor™  is  a  Texas  Instruments  technology,  which  uses 
innovations  in  image  processing  to  improve  the  optical  efficiency  of 
DLP® projection systems. BrilliantColor™ allows the usage of a more 
advanced  image  processing  algorithm  and  enables  the  use  of  more 
colours on the colour wheel, than the standard Red, Green, Blue and 
White segments.
BrilliantColor™ technology enables higher brightness levels by boosting 
mid-tone colours, resulting in more vibrant, precisely accurate colours 
projected on the screen. 
Key Advantages
1. Brighter Images
2. Improved colour spectrum
3. Smoother images and more accurate colours
COLOUR PERFORMANCE
Optoma guarantees colour quality will remain as new for 5 years*
We are so confident that the EP1080 colours will not fade that we guarantee the colours will remain vibrant and vivid, even after 
many years of use.

power  outlet.  This  eliminates  the  need  to  use  the  ‘Power’ 
button on the remote control or the projector keypad.

eliminates the need to use the ‘Power’ button on the remote 
control or the projector keypad.
