What is Brightness (ANSI Lumens)?

Measures the projector's light output, indicating how bright the image appears on screen.

Measured in ANSI Lumens

Definition

Brightness is measured in ANSI Lumens, a standardized unit that describes the total light output of a projector. Higher ANSI Lumens values mean a brighter image, which is crucial for maintaining image visibility and contrast, especially in rooms with ambient light. It is measured by projecting a white image and taking nine readings across the screen.

Why It Matters

Determines how well the projected image can be seen in various lighting conditions. A brighter projector can produce a vivid image even in a well-lit room, while a less bright one needs a darker environment.

What to Look For

2000+ ANSI Lumens for dimly lit rooms; 3000+ ANSI Lumens for rooms with ambient light.
