Philips is talking 5000/2500 lumens to conquer the 2000-3000 lumens range. That is Bright mode, and 'Color mode'. That is roughly Rec. 709, full rec 709 would require filtering of green so further loss of light, this Philips leaves to its clients.
This is for the second generation, current demo was 1300 lumens for color mode on an Optoma 1080P prototype. Philips is targeting Q1 2017 for its second gen implementation, add time for implementation by projector makers, and we are talking a year after launch/availability of the first HLD projectors.
Philips requires marketing designation for lumens to be no more than 5% above technical values.This is for Bright mode, so 3000 lumens should be fairly accurate. Lifetime is 20K hours down to 50% of initial output.
Optoma also has an HD version with HLD, as I saw at Philips. It did show red smudges/blobs in the white area's, I was assured this is not light engine intrinsic but an issue with the implementation, a prototype.
But Optoma will release the 4K version first in Q 3 2016.
Hitachi (DLP!) will be WUXGA, for higher education 3500 lumens bright mode, available in June.
BenQ will also release its HLD 4K projector sometime this year.
It is a ceramic rod, that is all they will say;-). Dual illumination, bottom and top, sides can not be fed with LEDs as they are needed for cooling.
