German term or phrase: Beamer (consumer electronics)
Liebe Kollegen in UK,

ich habe eine relativ einfache Frage aus der Unterhaltungselektronik (speziell für die Verwendung in UK):

Wie nennt man in UK den in Deutschland bezeichneten Beamer?

Ich vermute, dass der Begriff "Beamer" (ähnlich dem deutschen Begriff Handy) in UK unüblich ist. Englisch klingende Begriffe klingen bei uns ja oft "cool", auch wenn sie in UK niemand benutzt.

Laut meinen Recherchen ist in UK die Bezeichnung "projector" üblich. Ist das korrekt und die üblichste Bezeichnung?

Kontext:
".... ermöglicht es Ihnen, drei Geräte an den HDMI-Anschluss Ihres Fernsehers bzw. Beamers anzuschließen."

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe im Voraus.
