Two questions:

1. How weak is the lamp in this thing if they're afraid to even mention the lumens it puts out?

2. When is somebody going to put a damn LED lamp in a projector rather than a ridiculously hot, power-hungry incandescent? Wouldn't that basically eliminate the need for a fan altogether?

@Midwest_Product:
I'm totally with #2. LEDs last longer, are cooler and are even brighter. You could cut down on PJ size by probably half if you switched from incandescent to LED. Ugh.

By the way, for anyone reading this, Epson's HC4900 1080p PJ has been available for $1700 for quite some time now (some sites even offered it for $1400).

Now that's 1080p on the cheap (with incandescent lights, grumble grumble).

@Midwest_Product: I want to know these things as well and whats the maximum range of display vs maximum quality screen size.

You have to realize that LEDs that would be output compatible with the xenon bulb they are using would generate quite a lot of heat. Granted not as much as the xenon, but the heat sink would have to be pretty large at the back end of those LEDs. Probably still needs a fan too. Besides, LEDs have to be perfected to where their color spectrum works just as well as other bulbs at a similar price range before that tech gets used in the future.

All that aside, I still wish I had the $3k to throw at this thing!
