The projector industry's most respected brands generally appear to be slowly adopting the newer ISO 21118 rules as an accepted industry standard. For its own published lumen measurements, Epson adheres to the ISO 21118 industry standard, which calls for a 9-point measurement technique that is essentially equivalent in methodology to the long-established ANSI lumens standard many manufacturers still use and that we follow at ProjectorCentral when measuring review samples. Unlike the specifications of some audio/video products, notably the power wattage cited for audio amplifiers, there is no apparent FTC or other regulatory body oversight of projector brightness specifications that protects consumers and discourages false claims. Epson says Curtis sells projectors under other brands as well, with similar false lumens claims. In its suit, Epson specifically sites several RCA models (see supplied chart) that are claimed by Curtis to generate 2,000 lumens or more of brightness but, in the worst examples, fail to produce more than 1 percent of that brightness. television industry and was for many years its leading brand. The original RCA was a co-founder of the U.S. consumers, such as RCA, due to ownership or licensing of a once-heralded trademark. Occasionally, products like these appear under brands that have greater recognition to U.S. They are among a fairly broad selection of similarly inexpensive, and similarly spec'd, projectors in the same product class from previously unknown brands that have become endemic to the market in recent years as Gen Xers have shifted their viewing away from televisions to laptops, smartphones and tablets.

The projectors in question are compact portable models that retail for less than $100 and are widely sold online at Amazon and other retail sites, and in discount stores like Wal-mart. The new amendment names Technicolor SA, which owns the RCA brand and of which Curtis is reported to be a subsidiary, as an additional defendant. says it has amended a lawsuit against Curtis International Ltd., the distributor and marketer of RCA brand projectors, claiming that the company grossly overstates the lumen output of its budget projectors in its advertising while misleadingly illustrating them performing in well-lit environments and referring to them as "Super Bright."
