Epson settles another projector brightness lawsuit

July 19, 2024

Formovie will correct white brightness specification on Formovie Theater 4K UST from 2,800 lumens down to 1,800 lumens.

Epson announced it has reached a settlement with Formovie Tech, a Mi ecosystem company jointly established by Appotronics Corporation and Xiaomi Technology, for its recent lawsuit highlighting deceptive advertising practices.

Formovie will correct previously misstated white brightness specifications worldwide for the Formovie Theater, reducing 2,800 lumens down to 1,800 lumens, and the Formovie P1, reducing 800 lumens down to 250 lumens, to reflect accurate brightness claims. Moving forward Formovie will use ISO 21118 the internationally recognised standard for measuring a projector’s White Brightness. White Brightness measured in lumens using ISO 21118 is a critically important specification relied on by consumers when making a projector buying decision.

“When projector brands use the same, internationally developed and published standards, it protects consumers and establishes trust within the industry,” said Mike Isgrig, Vice President, Consumer Sales and Marketing, Epson America. “Formovie’s commitment to use internationally published and accepted standards (such as ISO 21118 for white brightness) moving forward for their entire product line will provide accurate white brightness information for consumers.”

The initial complaint against Formovie was made as part of Epson’s ongoing efforts to ensure the implementation of internationally recognised and accepted brightness standards are used by brands to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. The corrected specifications are now accurate white brightness claims, benefiting consumers, the retail channel, and the larger industry.

Unfortunately, there has been an influx of projector brands that are clearly providing misleading brightness claims.

Epson cautions shoppers to be wary of misleading metrics listed as “Lux,” “LED lumens,” or “Lamp Brightness” that fail to follow standardized methodology and therefore materially impacts a consumer’s ability to compare performance of projectors, especially when shopping on Amazon and other online marketplaces.
