My Dad has a "Smart" tv. Would this new technology be able to project an image without having to go through a computer?

Maybe, if you can use a USB camera with the TV then yes other wise NO. Even then you would not have all the functionality which you would have using a computer.

No. Not this model. It needs power from a USB connection also. So you need a Mac or PC computer, or perhaps a Microsoft tablet with a USB port. You need a model with a video output, preferably, with an HDMI connection.

Can I use this by itself instead of an overhead projector? If it takes pix, then how does it project it to screen?

Yes; however, you will still require a digital converter box (converts digital to analog) as older TVs do not understand digital signals without external aid.

I don't think so. It will only take TV signal and display it on the computer screen, and from there to any display device connected to the computer.

No, not unless you share your screen/presentation with something like a Chromecast or Apple TV. The projector allows you to plug in a USB Flash Drive, a micro SD card, or use the built in 2GB flash storage to transfer your presentation to the projector and then the projector will render and control the presentation by itself. You can plug the projector into your laptop via HDMI or VGA, but in order to "beam" over the presentation from a laptop you would need a receiver of some type.

No it does not have to be a smart tv. The manual shows you can use an hdmi cable, digital optical cable or av/rca cable. To review, go to Samung's website and look at the manual avaiable online. Hopefully it will help your decision.

I would say no, except the screen is used for projecting movies or television. Without a projector what will you project that requires a screen?

Yes - in the "Smart TV" media center, there is a limited web browser. It functions in many ways like a normal web browser, but has limitations (you can't download files from it, it can't load/view certain kinds of media, etc.) To get a full web browser experience, you can use the TV as a display to "mirror" your laptop/iPad with the use of an HDMI cable, but if you are hoping for the web browser on the TV to replace the need for your laptop or iPad, you will be disappointed.

It depends on the TV. If the TV has blue tooth capabilities, you can have the TV receive the aignal with an app for the TV, sort if like a bluetooth printer - or tap and print devices. Otherwise, with the right cables, that product pictured would work. I used it for projector use in the classroom. Good luck!

I have used one successfully and I'm guessing you could also use a Google Chromecast to access programing available through the Chromecast and your tablet or smart phone. On its own the TV is not a "smart" TV and cannot access internet programming

The projector is a very nice projector but I am sure it will not do 3D requiring modern technology. It will certainly project "double" images to simulate 3D but that would require the old red-green glasses of many decades ago.

Yes, I live where there is no computer access. Only thing is I may need a HDTV signal filter because when I turn on my new TV it causes a lot of static on the scanner to the point I have to turn the scanner off to watch TV. The scanner works great without the HDTV on. I'll call Radio Shack, maybe they can help me.

Yes - this is only the screen - you will need some type of projector to get image on the screen
58281
yes you will be able to do that. The browser isnt actually half bad for a built in tv web browser. That being said it is still browsing the internet without a dedicated keyboard and the magic remote. Meaning you will have to point at each and every letter when you type in the web page. A little annoying and time consuming but like I said one of the better built in tv browsers.

I don't think so. But it work very good. If you don't have a tv, just with a monitor. No software requiere

No - you would need a projector with a digital input - this projector only has analogue inputs.

all image that is in the laptop using a vga cable is going to project in the tv. Example I have a toshiba laptop and the model doesn't have a hdmi cable, with this I project the image from my laptop to my 3d smart television.
