Explanation:
w/screen = with screen

Which term exactly is giving you the problem here? All these words are readily available from any half-decent dictionary, and there's no obvious reason to doubt the literal...

To answer the point raised by Galagy, I really don't think this 'w' would mean widecreen here; for one thing, in EN, we'd more likely say 'widescreen projector' (not 'projector widescreen', which is the FR word order) — in EN, in a certain military / official style, we might say "projector, widescreen" — but note that all-important comma.

w/screen is not all that common in EN, but w/ meaning 'with..', however, is very common indeed. As is c/w, meaning 'complete with'

As ever, it would help enormously to have a good deal more meaningful context, but if my hunch is right, and this is in the same vein as Asker's other questions, then I stand by my original suggestion.

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: is this "W" not for widescreen?//agree about word order but normally c/w for "comes with" as you say; "w" on its own looks strange but asker hasn't responded so...

  -> No, I don't think so: for one thing, that wouldn't refelect normal EN word order, it's very FR! in any case, most projectors are at least wide-screen capable these days, I don't think they'd bother to specify it in this way. But w/ is v. common too
