1. Lumens is brightness. The higher this number for a front projector, the better/brighter the image and the farther you can throw it. 2. Is there a difference - nothing definitive, but my friends who have front projectors tend to only use them for DVD movies and have some other TV for casual watching. 3. I would suggest a rear-projector DLP set as being more 'mature' and therefor more reliable. The one problem with a projector is people want to make it small. This means a lot of heat in a small package and this tends to 'cook' things. Rear projector TV's have been around for 20-30 years and even if the guts have changed, the larger box gives the engineers a lot of options. 4. My lamp just went out after 3 years. I found a website on how to replace it my self, but I discovered my service contract still existed so they put in a new bulb for free.

i have this little samsung projector, about the size of a small book, and instead of a xenon light bulb or whatever, it has led's. i think it will last the longest because led's are made to last like 100,000 hours. you know technically, light bulbs can last as long as we want, and there are 12 year light bulbs out there, because all you have to do is have a thicker filament. there was a fire station in the midwest i think with a light bulb that was never turned off for 75 years. when they first invented lightbulbs, the problem was that there was no reason to replace them, hence no repeat business, so they sunk money into making them crappier. if everyone went out and got the more robust bulbs the companies would have to follow suit.

Look for new projectors coming out with phlatlight technology. As mentioned elsewhere its an LED array of lights that is rated MUCH higher than halogen bulbs of today. This is an emerging technology and should hit mainstream within a few months. Some manufactures are already using it or slated to use it nex quarter.
