I have a very small DVD player, for example - so this would connect to the outputs of that device and project the DVD onto a wall or large screen vs. going through a conventional TV or computer monitor, right?

Yes, just match the outputs of your player to the inputs on the projector. It works just like hooking it to a TV or computer monitor.

There are steps you can take to improve the quality of the output. Mainly, project it onto an actual screen. I've seen folks try a setup where they hang a white bedsheet. It works, but not exceptionally.

You can actually purchase paint that has a bit of reflectivity mixed into it, so you could find a large, flat surface and then paint it. This would alleviate the need for a screen...

You can see my small DVD player on top of my TV in the bottom two photos....it plays International as well as US DVDs...which is good because some of mine are International only. Those pics were taken back in '04 before i upgraded to a flat screen.
