3x Brighter Colors 
with Epson 
Brilliant image quality requires high 
color brightness (color light output), 
and Epson 3LCD projectors have 
3x Brighter Colors than leading 
competitive projectors
One brightness measurement 
(lumens) is not enough. A projector's 
specifi cation needs to show both 
high color brightness and high white 
brightness. If color brightness 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 
specifi cation.
