Projection TV
A projection TV uses a video signal (from a TV, DVD player, etc.) to project the images onto a projection screen or wall using a lens system. These video projectors use an extremely bright light to project the video, and most modern devices can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through configurable settings.
Projection TVs are popular for conference room presentations, classroom training, and especially home theater setups. Video projectors are often built into cabinets which use a rear projection screen to form a single unified display device (the preferred method home theater applications).
Most projection TVs can be used against a matte white wall, although projection screens generally produce better quality, especially in well-lit or daylight conditions. There are several kinds of projection TVs, including CRT, DLP, and LCD, with the latter becoming most popular. To learn more about projection TVs, check out the articles below.
