Color brightness now measures about 70% of white instead of 55%. So for example, reducing it from 10 to 6 reduces overall ANSI lumen output by about 17%, but color is not diminished. This can make white elements in a scene appear brighter than surrounding colored elements.Īs you drop the Brilliant Color setting, color brightness is maintained while white is reduced. On the other hand, in the modes where Brilliant Color defaults to its maximum of 10, color brightness is 55% of white, thus yielding a lower color saturation and brightness relative to white highlights. In Reference mode, color brightness is 100% of white. Color saturation and contrast is affected by these settings. The default setting is 10 in all modes except Reference, where it is set to 1 (off). The UHD60 has a Brilliant Color feature which can be set from 1 to 10.

The remaining preset modes are not as bright but they give you much better color fidelity. However, its Bright mode, which puts out close to 3000 lumens on our test sample, is overtly green in tint and for the most part useless for video presentation unless you don't mind a greenish picture. The Optoma UHD60 is rated at 3000 lumens. It also gives the designer some additional flexibility to achieve higher contrast as they work with trade-offs between lumen output and contrast.īrightness. Though there is no visible difference in image detail or resolution between the 0.66' chip and the 0.47' chip, the larger chip enables engineers to design for higher light output if they wish. The Optoma UHD60 uses the 0.66' DLP chipset, whereas most of the 4K projectors under $2,000 use the new 0.47' chipset, including the ViewSonic PX727-4K ($1299), the Optoma UHD50 ($1499), and the BenQ HT2550 ($1499).
