A projector display system, comprising: a light source, the light source further comprising a set of colored laser light sources; a controller; for each color, a light conduit providing a light path for the corresponding colored laser light from the set of colored laser light source; for each light conduit, a light dimmer being illuminated by an associated colored laser light source of the set of colored laser light sources, the light dimmer configured to being controlled by the controller to adjust the amount of light from its associated colored laser light source, wherein each light dimmer comprises an adjustable iris (206r, 206g, 206b); a light combiner configured to combine each of the colored laser light passing through each associated light dimmer, wherein the light combiner comprises an integrating rod (208, 108) and an LCD stack placed in front of the integrating rod (208, 108), the LCD stack capable of modulating light entering into the integrating rod (208, 108); and a modulator illuminated by light from the light combiner and capable of modulating light from the light combiner under control from the controller, wherein the modulator comprises one of a MEMS array, DMD array, a set of controllable analog mirrors, and a set of controllable digital mirrors; said controller further comprising: a processor; a memory, said memory associated with said processor and said memory further comprising processor-readable instructions, such that when said processor reads the processor-readable instructions, causes the processor to perform the following instructions: receiving image data, said image data comprising Enhanced Dynamic Range - EDR - image data; sending control signals to the light dimmers such that each light dimmer may allocate a desired proportion of the light from the associated colored laser light source onto the modulator; and sending control signals to the modulator such that the desired proportion of the light from the set of colored laser light sources is modulated to form the desired screen image. a light source, the light source further comprising a set of colored laser light sources;
