A display system having a light source, relay optics, an optical element, an array of light modulators, an electronic subsystem (800, 900) for processing an input video signal (601, 801) comprising pixel data forming a matrix of pixels, projection optics, and a display screen, the electronic subsystem (800, 900) driving the array of light modulators, wherein light from the light source is transmitted through the relay optics to the optical element, the optical element reflects the transmitted light onto the array of light modulators, and the light modulated by the array of light modulators is projected onto the display via the projection optics, whereby the optical element sequentially reflects the transmitted light onto the array of light modulators at a first angle (φ1) and at a second angle (φ2) so that the light projected onto the display screen by the array of light modulators forms a first pixel group and a second pixel group on the display screen in such a way that the first and second pixel groups are superimposed and are shifted from one another by a predetermined distance so as to form together the matrix of pixels, the electronic subsystem (800, 900) comprising: a pixel brightness processor configured to receive the input video signal comprising the pixel data and to apply a peaking filter to the input video signal to reduce distortion in pixel intensity caused by the overlap of the first and second pixel groups (410, 430) and to produce a brightness processed output; an adder configured to receive the brightness processed output and the input video signal and to produce a peaked video signal including brightness values for the combination of the first and second pixel groups (410, 430); a throttle circuit configured to receive the peaked video signal and to produce a throttle signal as a function of the peaked video signal, said throttle signal acting as a scaling factor; a scaler (804, 904) configured to receive both the throttle signal and the brightness processed output and to scale the brightness processed output to produce an output signal as a function of said scaling factor and the brightness processed output, said output signal comprising adjusted pixel data, the combination of superimposed first and second pixel groups being based on said adjusted pixel data; and a dynamic range limiter (654, 815) configured to receive said output signal and to limit light intensity value of pixels provided by the adjusted pixel data to be within the dynamic range displayable by the display system. a pixel brightness processor configured to receive the input video signal comprising the pixel data and to apply a peaking filter to the input video signal to reduce distortion in pixel intensity caused by the overlap of the first and second pixel groups (410, 430) and to produce a brightness processed output; an adder configured to receive the brightness processed output and the input video signal and to produce a peaked video signal including brightness values for the combination of the first and second pixel groups (410, 430); a throttle circuit configured to receive the peaked video signal and to produce a throttle signal as a function of the peaked video signal, said throttle signal acting as a scaling factor; a scaler (804, 904) configured to receive both the throttle signal and the brightness processed output and to scale the brightness processed output to produce an output signal as a function of said scaling factor and the brightness processed output, said output signal comprising adjusted pixel data, the combination of superimposed first and second pixel groups being based on said adjusted pixel data; and a dynamic range limiter (654, 815) configured to receive said output signal and to limit light intensity value of pixels provided by the adjusted pixel data to be within the dynamic range displayable by the display system.
