A video projector comprising: a light source comprising a plurality of lasers providing at least two different colors of light comprising a first color having a first wavelength range and a second color having a second wavelength range different than the first wavelength range, wherein the plurality of lasers contribute to the appearance of speckle; a video processing engine configured to provide digital video data having a source resolution and a source frame rate; an optical path configured to receive the digital video data from the video processing engine and to receive light generated by the light source, the optical path comprising: a modulating element configured to modulate light incident thereon; a scanning system comprising a spinning element positioned prior to the modulating element in the optical path, the scanning system configured to scan light from the different colors across the modulating element in a manner in which each color is incident on a different portion of the modulating element than any of the other colors at a particular point in time; and a microlens array located along the optical path, the microlens array comprising a lenticular lens with lenticules of the lens being oriented parallel to an axis of rotation of the spinning element, the microlens array configured to increase angular diversity of light and reduce speckle based on dispersing light incident thereon; wherein, at the particular point in time, the scanning system illuminates a first band of the modulating element with light of the first color and a second band of the modulating element with light of the second color such that there is a gap of no light between the first band and the second band; and, at another point in time later than the particular point in time, the scanning system illuminates the second band of the modulating element with light of the first color and a third band of the modulating element with light of the second color such that there is a gap of no light between the second band and the third band. a light source comprising a plurality of lasers providing at least two different colors of light comprising a first color having a first wavelength range and a second color having a second wavelength range different than the first wavelength range, wherein the plurality of lasers contribute to the appearance of speckle;
