projection TV

Beamed-image television set

A projection TV is a television that works by projecting an image onto a screen rather than displaying it directly on a tube or panel.

Common in the 1990s and early 2000s, these large rear-projection sets offered bigger pictures than conventional TVs before flat-panel displays made them obsolete: We watched the Super Bowl on their massive projection TV.
