> 3 dayThis projector is absolutely stunning. Picture quality is glorious. Being able to see things in 4K (even this version of 4K) is amazing. As a filmmaker, I absolutely appreciate getting such stunning quality for my viewing experience. Setup is easy. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just plug things in appropriately, use the feet to get a level picture, etc. Remote is quite functional--there are a million options I will never use, but the basics are great! Controlling this from a distance is no problem. Audio must come from external speakers, but I prefer that. Who wants built-in speakers anyway? If youre buying this projector, youre obviously going to have a nice sound system to go with it. So they focus more on the features you will use rather than including something you wont. Plus, bluetooth audio is just the coolest thing ever. So happy weve gotten there. All-in-all, I absolutely love this!

> 3 dayI started using a projector full time recently. My original one was inexpensive, but it was pretty good. I decided to upgrade to get one with more brightness. I wasn’t disappointed with my decision. It works great. I can even watch it with all my lights on in the room. Also, the remote works soooooo much better than the previous one.

> 3 daySteve went out of his way to help us out. We absolutely love the Epson 3800 Projector. Works great with my Bluetooth sound system. Just have it against my textured wall and the picture is good. I can’t wait for my screen to show up. Thanks for your help Steve at Hatchfield Co. Will buy from their company again in the future!

> 3 dayExcellent color, contrast and brightness. Input lag is good enough for console gamers. The ECO mode is quite. I like 3LCD projector more than DLP projector. They have better color and contrast. If you are like me, looking for a 3LCD projector, for movies and gaming, and 4K, Epson product line is definitely what you can’t miss. And this one, HC3800, is the best at $1000-$2000. I love it! (This is a late review. I bought the projector one year ago. I’ve been enjoying it for the past whole year. I am so glad that I did a right decision a year ago)

> 3 dayWe absolutely love this projector. We use it outside on a 20 blow up screen and we are able to plug our firestick into the back and use all our apps. We also used wireless speakers for the audio with no connection problems and the sound was crystal clear. The only downside is that it is huge but we knew that going in.

Greater than one weekI think how you feel about this projector will depend largely on what you use it for. As a 4K video projector, and for the price, it is a reasonably good deal. I picked my 3200 up on sale at BestBuy. You will find the contrast unsatisfactory for dark scenes unless you have a blacked-out, light controlled room. Of course, good contrast always requires a blacked out room, but even so, the blacks on this are dark gray. For example, when playing Assassins Creed Origins, I cannot see my way around a crypt without having all other lights in the room off. HDR is not very noticeable, but is adjustable. You will notice the auto-iris kick in a moment after scene changes some times (this is Epsons attempt to make up for the lower contrast levels of this projector). I can live with this, happily, if the projector is only used for video. The projector is incredibly bright. No issues there. The crappy contrast may go unnoticed in a room without light control. In my basement, with no windows, I find it very bright in ECO mode, even nearly 1000 hours in. The lens shift feature blew my mind, and hugely simplifies installation without having to mess with keystone correction, which leaves the trapezoidal gray/black light around your picture. The worst part of this projector is focus. With video you may not notice, but since Ive been working from home for the last few months of COVID, I use this as a 142 monitor for programming, several hours a day every day. It is _impossible_ to get even focus across the screen with text. You can have one area sharp and another area dreadfully blurry, or you can have the entire thing slightly out of focus and rub your eyes all day long. Lest you think it may be caused by imperfections in my screen, or not having the projector perfectly centered...I can put a piece of paper in the out-of-focus area and walk back towards the projector 4-5 feet before that text is in focus. So, it isnt due to flatness of the screen. Tech support: Epson tech support has been good. When I finally bought and mounted a screen to verify it wasnt due to my uneven wall, they happily replaced my projector with a refurbished one via 2-day fedex, prepaid both ways. Unfortunately, the refurb was even worse for focus issues and had light scratches on the lens, so they overnighting a brand new one. The focus issue persists, so it seems to be common for this line -- or my setup is inexplicably wrong somehow. Epson does not have a way to trade-in/upgrade to something better, so Ill probably have to try to sell it on my own and take a loss. So, overall - acceptable for the price for movie night. Not acceptable for computer work. If you can afford to spend a little more for something closer to true 4K, with better focus and contrast, Id recommend doing so. **Update** I have been ceiling mounting this projector to keep it out of the way of people and reduce shadows from the same. The lens shift that was so delightful, seems to be a contributor to the focus issue. Switching to keystone correction instead of lens shift helps the focus, but it is still an issue. Also, keystone correction throws off the aspect ratio so the image no longer fits the screen - its either too wide, or I have to leave small dark strips at the top and bottom of the image. Finally, I unmounted the projector, put it in tabletop mode, and stacked boxes under it so the image is perfectly centered with no keystone and no lens shift. The center is stunning, but the side is STILL out of focus. Ive included a couple pictures from the panel alignment mode to show the focus difference from center to top-right (tabletop mode) when the projector is perfectly centered on a flat, professional screen.

> 3 dayWe upgraded to this project. The color and picture and brightness is so much nicer, you get what you pay for and this is a very nice projector. The remote controls other items to play videos which is another nice feature.

> 3 dayThere’s nothing quite like seeing a classic epic film on the big screen, but this projector makes it possible to come as close as you can at home. It’s not too heavy or too big, so you can either permanently set it up or bring it out as needed for movie night or the big game. The picture is great and compatible with 4K for the highest quality video you can have.

> 3 dayWeve had this projector for about 4 months. I can definitely say that I am so happy I decided on the Epson 3200. I mounted it on the ceiling about 11 ft from the wall. The picture is about 12 ft diagonal, and it looks amazing. The colors are beautiful, the image is bright even with lights/windows. We use this projector many hours per week for 4k gaming at 60fps. Wow, I cant imagine a better gaming experience. Watching movies is awesome too. Its like having a movie theater in our house. I have the audio connected to a bluetooth speaker, which works fine. My only small complaint is that the focus isnt perfect. For games that have small text on the top and bottom of the screen, I cant seem to get both in exact focus. I have to focus either the top or bottom, and the other one will be just a little blurry. Its such a small nitpick though, its really fine and its barely noticeable from viewing distance. While shopping, I remember debating buying this versus the Optima. I guess Ill never know what that one would have been like, but I have no regrets. I cant imagine it would have nailed everything as perfectly as this one did. I would buy another Epson next time definitely. If youre thinking about buying one, do it.

> 3 dayJust buy it, but plan on having Netflix premium. You wont want to watch anything that is not Ultra HD 4K. I painted the wall with Behr silver screen from home depot. I have 134 inch picture in a 12 foot room. The picture quality is beyond amazing. I just hope this thing lasts for a while.
