Hmm if you look at their 1st catalog for this set there, it shows the b/w monitor, then the 3 color filters stacked on top of it, with the 2 lcd shutters layered between the filters. I don't get how this works - the filters are all stacked so the light has to go thru ALL of them? How the heck do you just get red, or just blue? (with a wheel, it only has to go thru one color at a time). How do the shutters work, obviously they can't shut light off completely, or just the first shutter would result in no picture. Are the shutters divided into pixels, or is it just a solid pane shutter that goes from clear to black? Can anybody explain how this thing works? thanks...Frenchy
