ANSI Color Lumens VS ANSI Lumens

[Vin]

Hey, you can find a lot of answers in the FAQ thread. Philips are trying to keep everything at one place so it’s easy to search.

Different products with the same ANSI Lumens measurement can have a widely different actual brightness. ANSI Lumens only measure White color, not the millions of other colors used in your content. ANSI Lumens refers to outdated technology: lamp-based projectors rather than LED projectors with RGB-B. To put it simply, the ANSI Lumens measurement doesn’t describe the performance of a projector rendering full color imagery. We are using the term Color Lumens which better describes how bright the image will actually look. Essentially, Color Lumens = Lumens + Vivid Color + Fine Tuned Picture Settings.
Unfortunately, the rule that ANSI Lumens are a universal measurement of brightness for projectors is simply not the case. ANSI Lumens refers to the measurement of determining the brightness of white pixels and was adapted for lamp based projectors. Current projector technology like LED projectors with RGB-B have better color saturation and appear brighter than lamp based projectors. With the evolution of both the content that we watch and the projectors themselves, standard ANSI Lumens are now obsolete. We are using the term Color Lumens which better describes how bright the image will actually look. Essentially, Color Lumens = Lumens + Vivid Color + Fine Tuned Picture Settings.
