Actually LCos IS a form of LCD, it is a lcd screen with a mirror attached on the backside. It is a traditional LCD display except that it reflects light back as it passes through it and hits the mirror. Therefore, LCos is reflective and traditional LCD is transmissive. It is not a combination of DLP and LCD. DLP uses little micro mirrors that can be flipped and a color wheel. LCos does not have mirrors that flip and no color wheel. Think of LCos as a stained class window with a mirror backing. LCos and LCD cannont reproduce blacks as well as DLP by themselves a dynamic iris must be used. All current technologies today are tradeoffs and no one is the best. Your choice depends on the room application, primary use and budget.
