1 Projector Buyer s Guide to Color Brightness by ModelProjector buyers should proceed with caution. Derived when presentations consisted of a black font on a white background, the old lumens metric only measures white light. Lumens, or brightness, tells the projector buyer little about the brightness of colors in photos, videos or , a newer metric gives projector buyers a measurement for the brightness of colors. Color Light Output, or more simply Color Brightness, quantifies the brightness of Red, Green and Blue; the primary colors of photograph below shows two projectors setup side-by-side, set in their brightest mode. Both offer similar resolution, price and white brightness projector on the left exhibits low Color Brightness; only a fraction of its white brightness. The one on the right shows equal amounts of Color and White Brightness.

2 Colors on the right are much brighter, providing more document starts with a listing of projectors where the manufacturer specifies both White and Color Brightness. Second is a table containing projectors measured for their Color Brightness level by a 3rd party laboratory because the manufacturer did not specify the color on brighter colors. When selecting a projector, consider both the brightness of White as well as the brightness of photograph of side by side projected images from an identical signal source. Both projectors are set to their brightest mode.
