DreamVision dreams up DreamBee projector

With world plus dog jumping on the 1080p high def bandwagon, it's great to see someone launch a product that's actually worth of all those extra HD pixels: DreamVision's DreamBee 1080p projector.

Shaped like a tripod's head from Steven Spielberg's War Of The Worlds , the projector uses D-ILA tech instead of the more common DLP, making it much cheaper to produce and therefore to buy. Still with prices set at £7K for the DreamBee and £10K for the DreamBee Pro you'll still need a fairly hefty wedge in your wallet.

A closer look at the projector's features reveals that it could well be worth mortaging the kids for:
