Epson has come to an agreement in two lawsuits with AWOL Vision concerning claims about projector brightness. The company raised doubts about the brightness measurements for two of AWOL Vision's laser projectors: the LTV-3000 Pro and the LTV-2500 (currently priced at $2,999 on Amazon).
Adjustments to Brightness Claims
AWOL Vision had originally claimed that the LTV-3000 Pro could deliver up to 3,000 lumens of white brightness, while the LTV-2500 was said to have a brightness of 2,600 lumens. However, as a result of the settlement, AWOL Vision has consented to revise these figures downwards to 2,000 lumens and 1,700 lumens, respectively. Additionally, Epson recently announced that the brand will adhere to the ISO 21118 standard, which is internationally recognized, for its future white brightness measurements.
Previous Legal Actions
This isn't the first instance where Epson has taken legal steps against another projector manufacturer concerning misleading brightness claims. Earlier this year, they reached a resolution with Dangbei concerning its Mars Pro projector, which saw the advertised brightness plummet from 3,200 lumens to 1,800 lumens in a parallel settlement. Epson asserts that these actions are aimed at ensuring all projector brands report brightness metrics that align with globally accepted standards. They argue that this will enable consumers to make informed decisions when comparing different projector options.
