Based on the description of the trid projector, I'd say none.

This device projects a trideo hologram into a five-meter cube right next to or above the device. The hologram can be quite realistic, but unless you’re really artistic about it, it’s pretty obvious that it’s just trid.

its the same difference like a tv and a monitor.
the trid-projector is a holo-projector thats designd to view "tv"-shows on.

I think, based on artwork, that a trideo screen is a concave screen that produces a sort of 3d picture, whereas a hologram projector produces a freestanding hologram with no backdrop.
Have you ever had a dream where you were standing on a pyramid in sort-of sun god robes with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing pickles at you?

Why am I the only one that has that dream?

A trid projector is a fancy video projector. Needs something to project on to. Holo projector creates a freestanding image.
