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 projectors.1
One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. A projector’s speci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 specication.
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 costs4
• 20 years of road-tested reliability
Remarkable resolution for brilliant clarity and detail
Resolution denes the level of detail and depth you’ll see in a projected 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.

3 Check your owner’s manual to determine if a separate wireless LAN module must be purchased separately to enable wireless connection on your Epson projector. Epson projectors can be networked either through the Ethernet port on
the projector (check model specications for availability) or via a wireless connection. Not all Epson projectors are able to be networked. Availability varies depending on model.
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 efciency was measured as wattage per
lumen. It was measured for both 3LCD and 1-chip projectors in each of ve brightness segments. 3LCD projectors averaged less required electricity per lumen in each of the ve segments.
5 Leading 3LCD and 1-chip DLP business and education projectors selected according to NPD data as of July 2013. Independent U.S. research conducted by Radius Research (July 2013), results conrmed at a 99% condence level.
