Don't go by the manufacturer's listed specs for lumens as they don't represent actual veiwing conditions and aren't standard across the industry. Sites like the two I mentioned will list what the ouput is in the different lamp modes so that you can get a better idea of their capabilities. On a similar note, don't pay attention to pumped up contrast numbers. Rather looked for ansi contast numbers posted in reviews at reputable sites as they are much more accurate.

Good hunting.
