Epson Home Cinema 3200 4K PRO-UHD 3-Chip Projector with HDR

I did not know about this feature when I purchased this projector, but my favorite feature is the Anamorphic wide setting in the Aspect setting. My screen is 16:9 and I like filling the whole screen. Most movies now are 235-1 which have black bars on the top and bottom of my 16:9 screens. The Epson 3800 does a great job filling the entire screen using the Anamorphic Wide setting even in 4K. For me, the stretch is not that noticeable and it doesnt cut out the width like the zoom. I also think it works for 3D movies, but I havent tested it yet. The manual says this mode Displays images recorded at Cinema Scope size when you attach a commercially available anamorphic lens to the projector, however, you do not need to buy a anamorphic lens - it works as shipped. I will make the rest simple - If you want a great picture and are using your projector in your living room with moderate daylight, want to view 3D movies and dont care about perfect blacks, and want to fill 16:9 screen this is the projector for you. Finally, 3000 lumens make most viewing great using the Eco mode.

I bought the epson 3800 renewed from Amazon and I could not focus the projector whatsoever. Focus uniformity across the four quadrants was horrible. I doubt I’ll pursue another electronics purchase from Amazon. A huge waste of time.

I’ve had the projector for almost a year now and all I can said is that’s it’s everything that i paid for… the Picture is great!! And along with all the great features it has duel inputs which is a lifesaver… Knock on wood the only thing Ive has to do was clean the air filter… it’s definitely upgrade from the old generic 1080p!! Highly recommended for any set-up!! What made it so much easier was being able to pay monthly for it!

Great projector. Epson 3200 4k is great for the price and picture quality

I recently replaced by 11 year old Mitsubishi projector with the Epson 3200 for my media room. However, after a short time I decided to return the 3200 due to internal dust on the lens and dissatisfaction with the black (or in this case gray) levels. I then upgraded to the 3800 and I am extremely happy. The contrast improvement between the 3200 and 3800 was immediately noticeable. The colors, contrast and sharpness are fantastic. While this is not a true 4k projector, it is miles ahead of my old Mitsubishi projector and an improvement over the Epson 3200.

We 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.

I love how easy it is to operate that it’s quiet and the quality of

We received this item....which we have been soooo excited about! And the power wont turn on. We tried all of their tips in the user manual and still nothing. It is soooo disappointing to pay so much for a product & wait so long for it to arrive defective. We are quite frustrated. I mean, thank goodness this wasnt for a business meeting or something so very important. Id say this is not reliable.

Review after about 300 hours of use. This projector replaced a JVC DLP (rebranded BenQ). The projector is ceiling mounted. Screen is a 110 16:9 ALR. Room is sorta light controlled - windows flank the screen. Lighting in the room is via multiple track heads on both sides of the room. Walls are white, so light from the track heads bounce everywhere. Adjustability: The ceiling in my viewing room is low - the centerline of the lens is below the top of the screen. On the JVC, the only way to get this to work was with some extreme keystone adjustment. The Epson has some easily accessible knobs that made lens shift adjustment extremely easy - especially when working on something hanging over your head. The lens on the JVC was in the middle of the projector whereas the lens on the 3800 was offset to one side. The lens shift meant the I didnt have to mess around with moving the projector mount a few inches to the side. Theres a little play in the knobs that is a bit annoying at first but you get use to it quickly. The amount of lens shift is incredible making projector placement much less of a consideration. Brightness: The old projector was rated at 5000 lumens at full power - even in eco mode, that projector should haven been substantially brighter than the 3800, but I cant tell the difference. I would chalk that up to the improved contrast. No problem with viewing on an ALR screen with the lights dimmed to about 50%. Noise: yeah, its noisy. About on par with the JVC but the projector is mounted directly over my sofa. The noise only really stands out when you are listening for it or there is no dialogue/music. The exhaust louver is right by the lens - if the projector is behind your seating position, it might be more objectionable. The louver isnt pointed directly back at the screen but angled slightly to the side. Size: I was originally considering the 4000/4010, but again, I got a low ceiling and having a massive projector hanging over your head seemed like a bad idea. The 3800 was a bit bigger than I expected, but compared to the 4000/4010, its nothing. Mounting it was also pretty easy but the wider spacing between the mounting holes on the project did necessitate a bit of McGyvering on the projector mount. The bad: convergence on my 3800 is a mess. The picture seemed a bit softer on one side, but being lazy, I didnt bother trying to figure out what the issue was. The remote control has a nice pattern button which will display an alignment grid. That confirmed that something was wrong on one side of the screen, but again - lazy. The grid fuzzy grid lines on the left side of the screen were easily twice as wide as the nice and sharp grid lines on the right side. The fuzziness was mostly noticeable when playing video games. At first, I thought that it was an alignment issue and the projector wasnt perpendicular to the screen. Finally, when trying to avoid some household chores, I made the mistake of trying to get to the bottom of the issue. Several hours later after messing around with the projector mount alignment, then diving into the convergence menu, I came to the conclusion that there was nothing that I could do about it. If your a type A person, trying to do a point by point convergence adjustment is like being a hamster on a hamster wheel - you just cant stop. YMMV - my tip would be to check the projectors convergence when you get it. Maybe its just the luck of the draw. Since Im lazy, Im now outside of the Amazon replacement window and I dont feel like going thru the hassle of getting a warranty refurb from Epson. The projector is still usable but it bugs me now that Ive confirmed what the issue is and I can do nothing about it short of getting a replacement.

The screen from the beginning would not focus on all 4 corners. I have this ceiling mounted, and I suspect the lens is not designed to be mounted from the ceiling. If the text at the top of the screen was in focus, the text at the bottom would be slightly out of focus. This happened with 2 projectors (sent the first one back for a replacement). The replacement lasted 10 months. I will report back after I go through the warranty process with Epson. If that goes well, I might adjust my review positively. Customer service is important.
