Another word for a projector.

The word "Beamer" is a German word that isn't really used (in that context) in any other language. Same as with "Handy" for smartphones.

Oh, must have been my time spent in Germany. As Wikipedia disambiguation page says:

> Beamer

> Video projector, a pseudo-Anglicism in a number of languages including German, Dutch, Latvian and Swiss French
