Image brightness from a projector is normally measured in ANSI lumens. Lumens is a brightness measurement and ANSI lumens is a method of standard brightness measurements for projected images. The measurement is based on certain video levels and patterns and helps to compare the outputs from different projectors.

Most manufacturers now quote an ANSI lumen figure although some choose to quote a lumen level that may not be based on the ANSI measurement system. The non ANSI levels will generally be a rather higher figure so they do not offer a comparison with industry standard measurements.

Apparent brightness is also dependent on the ambient light falling on the screen as well as the contrast range of the image itself. For these reasons, don't let the brightness rating influence a choice of model without taking other factors into account.

What is the best quality projector?

Brightness is measured in ANSI lumens. For home theater projectors, brightness typically ranges from 700 - 2000 lumens or more. Your viewing environment will be a big part of determining how bright your projector needs to be. Dedicated home theaters (rooms with controlled lighting and no ambient light) will not require as much brightness as a space with ambient light from windows or other household lighting.


What is an apparent brightness?

An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.


What is a projector?

A projector simply projects images onto a wall or projection screen. Projectors are typically used to increase the image size for viewing by audiences. Projectors come in a variety of sizes, normally measured in Lumens which is the brightness of the light. This brightness will determine the size the image can project and the distance the projector can be from the screen. Slide projectors use light to project images from 35mm slides. Digital Projectors use light to project images from computers and DVD players.

What is recommended best ANSI lumen rating on a projector?

Lumen is a simple way to indicate the amount of light the projector has to produce the brightness of the picture. The higher the number the brighter the picture.

How is brightness measured in the context of light sources?

Brightness of light sources is measured using a unit called lumens. Lumens indicate the total amount of visible light emitted by a source, with higher lumens corresponding to greater brightness.


How does the relationship between brightness and perception in lighting, as measured in lumens, demonstrate a logarithmic scale?

The relationship between brightness and perception in lighting, measured in lumens, demonstrates a logarithmic scale because our perception of brightness increases more slowly as the actual brightness increases. This means that doubling the lumens doesn't result in a perceived doubling of brightness.
