So... What's the difference between this and a rear-projection tv? Just the screen the projector is aiming at?
Right. Traditional projection TVs have reflective screens - your eyes are getting photons that have bounced off of something already, making them less bright and lower contrast. Thing is still an emissive screen tho. The white photons from the projector are filtered by the LCD but then head right out to your eyes without bouncing off of anything else. This keeps the color gamut very high, and the projector only lighting up the pixels that need to be lit keeps the contrast very high (like an oLED)
