Searching for 3LCD finds this Epson page: <

<http://3lcd.com/> has a very familiar 'feel' as well... and has an admin
contact at Seiko Epson Corporation
I won't get into display theory on this list (feel free to contact me if
you want to discuss such)

The only thing I can think relevant regarding projector/monitors in a
NOC situation would be general eye strain issues, which should be
taken in to account in the same way as keyboard/chair positioning etc
by whoever is responsible for health and safety. Anything beyond eye
strain is probably just getting in to colour reproduction discussions
which are largely irrelivant in a NOC.
I for example have all my monitors set to a lower colour temperature
and dimmed as much as feasable, colour reproduction is terrible but
great for avoiding eye strain. I switch back to reasonably normal
settings for watching videos and films etc, but during normal NOC
operation I doubt the colour accuracy needs to be able to distinguish
more than than green/yellow/red (with maybe some shades between).

Yes, I was taken in by the adoption of CLO by the Society for Information Display http://www.sid.org/About.aspx
It's so easy to drop thousands into a projector based on the specs. and end up with a shitty picture, so I think the CLO spec will help,
Whole thing is being debated here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1451895/epson-color-light-output-demo-at-ces-2013

Hi Eric
In case you didn't see it at the avs forum:
"Obviously brightness is only one metric, but a useful one if there is any ambient light or if you're going after a large screen.
You might recognize my name.it's the one on the four page document highlighted above and available at www.colorlightoutput.com I'm a product manager for 3LCD.
I'm a little surprised by the comments suggesting we were trying to hide the identity of 3LCD behind the site. Clearly the site doesn't scream3LCD.it wasn't supposed to. The "Hero" of the site is Color Light Output. The purpose is to provide information about this new measurement methodology.not present the technical details of 3LCD. I thought the 'feedback' page fairly well spells out who was behind it. That said, I will take these comments and make adjustment so that's it's clearer who is supporting the site.
Regarding the projectors selected for testing in table 2 of the document. It is true that all of these projectors are single chip models with color wheels. Why is that? As Scott points out above, an RGB 3-path projector will always have equal parts of WLO and CLO. I know already how an NEC LCD projectors is going to perform. Only single chip projectors were tested in order to better understand how each Color Wheel design impacted CLO. I do admit that the list is heavily leaning towards the biz/ed side of the projection market.that's due to the makeup of sales volumes; only about 10% of projectors are sold into home theater.
I hope, regardless of the company on my business card, that you'll agree with me that providing the customer this additional data is a good thing. My aim here is to get all manufacturers to list CLO as a supported metric."
