We were gathered by EPSON Philippines, Tuesday last week to educate us about one important feature one should look before buying a projector – color brightness. They want consumers to know more about the technology of projectors before finally buying one. Color brightness was explained to be a scientific standard that measures the luminance of the colors red, green, and blue, also known as CLO, or color light output.
Check the Youtube clip below how Epson demonstrate color brightness.
EPSON says, most buyers determines projector capability by lumens in general. The higher the lumens, the brighter the projector. However, the widely-used lumens specs measures only the white light, and according to study from TFC Info Associates, more than 70% of projector buyers do not know the fact.
During the tech update, EPSON demonstrated the importance of how the color brightness performance of a projector can maximize customer enjoyment of color-rich content now more easily accesible to home, commercial, business and education sector.
The establishment of CLO came about when NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology) issued a paper on Color Brightness in 2009, the institution stated that in addition to typical white light brightness rating of display devices, there was a need to provide an equivalent measurement that will better describer a projector’s color performance when rendering full color imagery.
EPSON is among the first to adopt the technology, they later introduced 3LCD technology which ensures that all EPSON projectors provide the same level of brightness in a while and color measured in lumens.
During the tech update, the Japanese company showcased two of its latest projectors – the EB-435W and EB-X12. The short-throw model which is the EB-435W has white light output of 2500/3000 lumens, and color light output of 2500/3000 lumens. While the EB-X12 has a white and color light outputs of 2800 lumens, best for classroom setting and office.
