With Sample Sentences in German and English

der Beamer (-s)  digital/LCD projector

Wir brauchen einen Beamer für das Meeting.
We need an LCD projector for the meeting.
(Yet another odd borrowing from English to German. While the word "beamer" refers to a German BMW car in English, it has a very different meaning in German. For more "false friends" see the link below.)
