3LCD manufacturers introduce Color Brightness measurement
3LCD manufacturers including Epson and Sony are getting behind a new metric for measuring color reproduction among projectors. Since the contrast ratio is based on just pure white and pure black, a high value does not guarantee that the colors produced by a projector are "punchy." This new "Color Brightness" value will measure a brightness value for each of red, green and blue primary colors used in 3LCD projectors. If a projector produces same brightness for red, green, blue and white, then you know it's able to produce saturated colors over the spectrum. No word on when to expect this metric to be adopted, as it still has to be submitted to the requisite standards bodies.[Via AboutProjectors]

This is a totally amusing article. If one thing I have always know LCD projectors for being strong on it is their punchy colors. I have never had anyone or heard of anyone suggest that an LCD projector lacked punchy colors. As such, why harp on it now? Better yet, find me the lone individual that must have complained about punchy LCD colors so we can correct that individual. :)
LCD displays (not to be confused with LCD flat panels of LCoS technologies) have another problem and that is screen door, On-Off contrast ratio, horizontal banding in panning, and vertical banding overall.
