Epson has announced the settlement of its recent legal dispute with AWOL Vision. The company raised concerns regarding the brightness measurements given for the LTV-3000 Pro and the LTV-2500 projectors. As part of the agreement, AWOL Vision has agreed to lower the estimates for these two models.

Epson has settled two lawsuits with AWOL Vision relating to projector brightness claims. Epson questioned the measurements of two of the brand's laser projector models: the LTV-3000 Pro and the LTV-2500 (curr. $2,999 at Amazon).

Initially, AWOL Vision stated that the LTV-3000 Pro offered up to 3,000 lumens of white brightness. The less powerful LTV-2500 had a lower 2,600 lumens measurement. As part of the settlement, AWOL Vision has agreed to amend these specifications to 2,000 lumens and 1,700 lumens, respectively. Plus, according to a recent announcement by Epson, the brand has committed to using the internationally recognized ISO 21118 standard to provide white brightness measurements in the future.

This is not the first time that Epson has taken legal action against another projector brand regarding misleading brightness statistics. Earlier this year, the company reached an agreement with Dangbei over its Mars Pro projector, with the estimated brightness level reduced from 3,200 lumens to 1,800 lumens in a similar settlement. Epson says that it is taking these steps to ensure all projector brands provide brightness metrics linked to internationally recognized standards. The company suggests that this means that consumers can make a fair judgement when deciding between various projector models.
