At the time, this projector was the KING of the world along with the Sony Qualia 004 but less money.

You still can make one HELL of a picture with an HD2k and there are a number of people that have software tweaks for the projector that get get even better performance from it. William Phelps is the guy I used for my lesser JVC D-ILA that i had at the time. Phelps now works with Meridian on their projectors - http://www.meridian-audio.com/p_mf2.htm

Have you used any of these aftermarket softwre tweaks?

Has anyone tried to make their Home Theater PC do the video processing for this projector?

Can anyone assist with a suggestion of a budget portable projector which will work with an original iPad ??? Just for photos Brand and model ..

Well, that's fairly horrible resolution, even for a pico projector (hence the ultra cheap price...for a pico). There is nothing video source wise that uses HVGA as a native resolution, so it's going to be down converting, and I just haven't seen any high quality up or down converter ever.

10 lumen's also means your going to need a fairly, if not completely dark area to prevent the image from being washed out. My advice would be to keep looking elsewhere.

comparing the Optoma PK-101 with the wonderwall, the optoma gets the nod

they're about equally bright, but the optoma has way sharper image quality and color

i'm getting a led bulb for the wonderwall, should have it in a couple of days

will report back with the results, but for now the optoma easily, in my opinion, beats the stock wonderwall
