Not content with leaving the European projector market all to those happy-go-lucky Italian types over at SIM2, the plucky French firm of DreamVision proffers this, the outrageously curvy and quixotically named DreamBee
Turbocharged performance
The DreamBee is essentially a turbocharged version of the JVC DLA-HD1 (hence the identical claimed contrast ratio), and it delivers the ultra-bright colours, deep blacks and smooth performance you’d expect given that projector’s talents.
Hammering all those straight JVC edges into something as curvaceous as this can’t have been easy, and DreamVision’s efforts are to be applauded. But it does also mean the DreamBee is one big unit…
Brighten up your life
And if the size doesn’t get it noticed the range of colours certainly will. Got a bright red ceiling? Nope? How about blue? Yellow? Us neither. Still, the DreamBee catalogue caters for such daring decorators, and it’s also available in good old black or white.
But despite overwhelmingly good impressions, and the fact that DreamVision claims its fine-tuning and calibrating work has squeezed still more performance out of the chassis (true), we’re not sure it’s worth the extra £2500 over the JVC.
