video projectors

Screen display devices

Video projectors are devices that project images or video onto a surface, typically a screen or wall.

They receive input from computers, media players, or other sources and use light to enlarge and display the content.

Common in classrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters: We set up a video projector for movie night in the backyard.
