Default Bit of a Con Really - Follow-up ...

Not really. Transparencies subtract some colours from the transmitted
light; prints subtract some from the reflected light. Displays make
their own...


And LCDs use a matrix of RGB filters over a backlight, which makes them
behave similarly to a transparency in a projector, with the exception
that you can tweak the RGB values to change the colour balance - which
you *can't* do with film transparencies.

Why do color enlargers come equipped with color filters then?

You're completely missing the point. Once again, projected colour
transparencies are nothing like printed images.
