If you have a VGA or DVI (maybe even a HDMI) out on your laptop you can. These ports look like a whole lot of little holes that pins go into.
If you have this, then buy the appropriate cable, ie VGA to VGA if you have VGA out on laptop and VGA in on projector and start the laptop up, turn the projector on. There will be a key press on your laptop, the function key and maybe 2 little boxes and that will turn on output to the projector.
I use this to play movies from my laptop to my LCD tv, works really well
Good Luck

It can be done but the specifics will depend upon the projector.
If you have a digital projector then there should be an input jack that is shaped like a trapezoid (it's usually blue) on the projector. You'll need a video cable to go from the jack on your laptop with the same shape to the projector. Then it's a matter of determining what key combination on your laptop (Usually Fn + one of the Function Keys along the top row) will give you the video output. This could take hitting that combination more than once as the computer cycles through several different video options.
If you have an older-style TV-only projector, then you may need a converter to turn your digital computer signal into an analog TV signal. You'd still use the video output jack on the laptop but you'll need either a coaxial cable (the kind that screws into place) or the RCA plugs (Two audio, one video), depending on the projector. (If there's only one audio jack, use the white LEFT cable; left is the default for mono audio.)

what youre inquiring for seems redundant, yet been there. It relies upon on the video card first. Does it have a million-6 outputs? If no longer you would be able to desire to characteristic enjoying enjoying cards, and the drivers can now and decrease back get complicated, besides via actuality the softwaqre to administration the drivers and hardware. Is there an consumer-friendly answer? No. yet specific after the main significant VC you should upload as much as 3 better pci VC for video out yet, different than its a primo server, your going to pass by way of video degradation. Be better available to furnish to a splitter and RCA it to the projectors/, in the event that they have meaning. then its in uncomplicated words a daisychain.

Read the laptop User Manual and look for a KEY Combination to enable "video out".
Then, read the projector manual to learn how to connect it to your laptop.

It dpends on your laptops connection. It's usualy DVI but newer ones can have HDMI. Go to an electical shop and ask them for a cable. Either DVI to component video or HDMI to componant video. If they are nice people then they might leave you try your laptop with one of the screens in store

I dam sure you can, but it would be better to plug in an Xbox and play halo or guitar hero fullscreen like that.
