Yes you can use a projector to display your computers output onto a projector, white wall/sheet. Keep in mind that a screen is designed to reflect much more light and color than you average white wall so the picture might not be as crisp as you want. Also keep in mind that the projector will have to have the correct input to match your computer output (VGA, HDMI, etc) or you have to have converters that will fit the inputs. Its a great way to play games, watch movies, office work, edit photos/videos, etc. You can find cheap projectors easy on eBay. Good luck Have Fun.
