Projection type: LCD
Primary target: Teens, Preteens

ZOOMBOX is the name for a video projector developed by Hasbro. It has a built-in CD/DVD player for movie watching and audio playback, and has a 557 x 234 resolution, as well as built-in stereo speakers. It also features a composite input, and 2 L and R audio inputs, and a stereo plug for audio speaker output. The size of the unit is about the same as other projectors.

The device is notable for being able to output image on the ceiling due to its flat rear area, and for having a relatively inexpensive price, for both the unit itself and its replacement bulb. However, the 35 watt bulb only has 8 ANSI Lumens, and is not as bright as other projectors, and can produce an image approximately 60 inches, though it was often complained that its low resolution make texts (such as DVD menu or subtitles) difficult to read on screen. If it were to overheat, a black hole will appear on the screen. In order to use the zoombox for however long, it must be in a cool place or someone has to "fan" the engine.
