Sony is advertising 6000 to one on their VPLHS51.

Which is great for a $3700 MSRP, but I can't figure out why they only went for 1200 ANSI lumens.

at 3500 or less it gives a 3000 hr bulb at about 300 dollars and a fan level of 24 decibals. If we're doing home theater economically and on a screen that fits most of our homes, it's an excellent choice. The trade off is projectors 3 times the price or noisy fans short life lamps

This specification is used in marketing hype and promotion and is an unreliable figure for determining performance. Ignore it.

Contrast ratio simply put means how bright and how dark an image can be. Human contrast ratio is about 800 and anything beyond that defintely will cause viewer fatigue if not damage. This is based on a dark room at night compared to being outside on a clear sunny day. For most of us just going outside of your house on a sunny day will make your eyes water and squint until your iris closes up to compensate. Of course once you step back in the house...
