A modular system for projection television is disclosed wherein the major components may be removed from the frame or cabinet, which may then be folded into a compact unit for transporting. The projector is of a type that may be used either as a front or rear projecting television. Where appropriate, amplifiers, speakers, projector and optical devices are electrically connected within the enclosure, which may be achieved through the use of slot connectors or other means that permit easy withdrawal and reinsertion of the modules. The screen may be detached and used in the front projection mode, or designed to fold along with the frame or cabinet.
