CNET GLOSSARY: Terms for the techie
lumens
The unit of measure for the light output of a projector. Different manufacturers may rate their projectors' light output differently, and these numbers are usually inflated. "Peak lumens" is measured by illuminating an area of about 10 percent of the screen size in the center of the display. This measurement ignores the reduction in brightness at the sides and corners of the screen. See also ANSI lumens
