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

This 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!

Bought the refurbished model. Seems to be working so far. Great picture quality. Best in a very dark room. I have an apple tv 4K device installed on it as well as a vizio soundbar with wireless subwoofer and surround speakers. Also using a 100 inch screen. Great for movies and sports.

If the higher end versions are priced out of range for you, this 3800 model might be in your wheel house. If you are looking for a better than average 4K TV, this is probably the area you want to look. The picture quality is superb. Very impressive for a projector. What I like most about it is the versatility in its projection size. So no matter what room size you are sitting in, this Epson 4K projector will accommodate the size needed, whether on a wall or a screen. It is 3D capable, but you need to buy the accessories to accommodate it, but it can handle displaying. There are various audio inputs to use for sound bars or speakers to maximize the theater experience. While the unit is pretty big, its not improbably to move it around with careful handling for certain occasions, such as an outdoor viewing. There are a lot of features within to tune it to your home environment and displays well even in the daytime. Overall, if the other projectors are a little too much, I would go for this one as you will find the quality very comparable and worthy of show-off rights.

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.

Very pleased with the quality of this projector. The picture is very sharp. Just what we needed to complete our movie room!

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.

Incredible projector. Takes a little time and effort to get setup lined up but once it’s done it’s a jaw dropper

Wanted to start out with the unboxing, this is a solid unit in which you need a quality ceiling mount (Id recommend a professional if you arent that handy). Now this has your basic setup steps to go through as soon as you turn the unit on but I would recommend doing some research and reading on this unit as there is so much more advanced tweaking you can do. I made some presets and am able to change setting based on room brightness, screen aspect ratio, etc. You have a couple HDMI slots, USB plugs, Mini USB, Audio, etc so should be all you need to hook up any devices you need. The picture with 4k is so clear and crisp, the details just jump out at you and if you pay attention it is almost like you are looking our your window or outside it is just that real. My kids love it as it makes it seem like every night is a movie theater night and we no longer have a bulky tv setup to look at. Wanting to get a retractable screen for it to make our setup look a lot cleaner but currently just have a regular screen. Also, I hooked up with our wireless surround sound effortlessly, there was no sound delay and to me it was a hassle free experience. I have had other TV setups that were a lot more challenging but this was easy. Cant say enough good things about this unit, just really makes the family movie experience that much more delightful! Would highly recommend!

A great bright room projector but not ready for that dedicated dark theater man cave. Too many artifacts.

4K picture is great
