do I need a projector to use this screen

Just a screen. Would need a projector or some other device to show any image. Not like a TV.
1860951
Yes - this is only the screen - you will need some type of projector to get image on the screen

Generally "Yes", however if you are very creative, it is possible to recreate the "Killer Rabbit with huge pointy teeth scene" from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail using your fingers and a flashlight!
1860953
yes. you need something to send the image to this screen with. this is the screen only.

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?

You need a VGA or an HDMI cable to use your laptop with the projector. But the battery of the projector is pretty good so for short presentation you can project it using just the battery.

Yes you can connect to a projector if the projector has HDMI port. If not you have use a HDMI adaptor suitable for connecting to a projector device. This dell xps 12 laptop has one HDMI port.

It has an HDMI port. You´ll need to buy an adapter to use it with projector or to use a second monitor.

The screen is nice and set up is rather quick, but to answer you question, no it does not come with a projector.

You don't need a projector. It works with a desktop or laptop. When you click "next" on the remote, the PowerPoint slide moves to the next slide on your computer.

There is a picture focus (brightness cones from a bulb and not adjustable) and some sound. You will need speakers. Very good projector for the money :-)

You might have to download an app that allows you to connect it to a monitor. As long as you can find the app, you can probably use this projector.

Sounds like this is more equipment than you need. If all you are doing is going out from a PC to a projector for a display you might only need a converter piece or just a cable and use the projector as an external display. Can your projector not take an HDMI cable directly? If not can it take a VGA?

A projector is not needed. The remote acts the same as the space bar or page-up/page-down keys and more if you are running something like PowerPoint.Good luck.

Yes. I use the same exact set up. Just remember that it's a short throw projector and will need to be about 5ft (give or take) away from the screen.

Yes, the screen has a detachable black background that rolls up and out of the way. You can then project from behind the screen. See the video at this link: http://www.campchef.com/portable-screens/outdoor-big-screen-144.html

Yes. Basically whatever you watch on the screen, gets projected. However, the unit is an older design and fairly low resolution. Ok in a very dark room but not very bright either. There are newer units that may improve upon this unit.

yes. the projector is like a Monitor to provide the image. It has nothing to do any operating system.

My family loves the screen, we use a ViewSonic projector and a high end boom box for sound. Also use heat lamps every time (it gets cold at night!).

Yes, you can use it as a projector by hooking it up to a computer. Just note that the brightness (lumens) is not super high, and you have to pull it very far back to get a big picture. But if you are ok with a picture about the size of 60" tv, you can get that from probably 8 feet away in a decently well darkened room. I hope this helps.
