for gaming, offering low input lag and high refresh rates.
4. *Education*: Projectors are often used in educational
settings to display interactive content, videos, and
images.
# Advantages of Using a Projector:
1. *Large Screen Size*: Projectors can display images on
a much larger scale than traditional monitors or TVs.

often limited, requiring external speakers for better
sound quality.
