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

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.

Bright and clear picture, with very adjustable!

I recently upgraded my Optima and this was a great choice. A little bigger (heavier) than the previous projector. But the image quality and especially sound (very quiet) was well worth the price. I love the colors and blacks. I use it in my sunroom (with darkening shades), but it is even presentable in the daylight. But at night or a darken room is where it really shines. Good investment for movie night and general tv watch with an Apple tv.

This is a 4K projector from Epson that is meant to play games, films, and sports/regular TV. Lets get right to it: [Setup] In general, easy and quick here. Its a turn on and go type of setup. However, if you want to get really in depth with the settings, it is *definitely* there should you want to. Were talking the ability to adjust *any* aspect of the picture (brightness, saturation, color, white balance, sharpness, etc etc). However, I played with the settings just a little (mostly to turn all the enhancements off) and found it just peachy. There are adjust picture controls inside the menu and on the projector. I was able to get the geometry to perfectly match up (at least to my eyes) to a rectangle. Lens shift details are: Vertical: -60.0% to +60.0% (H center) Horizontal: -24.0% to +24.0% (V center) Inputs are: 2x HDMI® 2.0 (18 Gbps) HDCP 2.2 1x USB Type A 2.0 A power supply (for streaming devices) 1x USB (for wireless accessory and firmware updates) 1x Mini USB (service only) 1x Audio out mini plug (3.5 mm) [Picture Quality] Its superb as far as projectors go. You dont really know what youre missing, until you see the difference. I can say that even with a $100 projector, that its clear enough to watch a movie. With a $500 projector, I can say its very clear -- and even looks quite good. With this 4k projector, it starts to change from yea, this is a good projector picture to competing, and succeeding your LED TV. The real strength here is with color and crispness. Its *better* than a digital cinema, for example. It rivals LED TVs (succeeds a lot of them in my opinion). However, as others have mentioned, the black levels are diluted and muggy. Eh, not much else to say with that -- but the black levels are mediocre. You wont notice it unless youre really looking, but its similar to a theatre experience. The 4K picture, though, with 4K content -- just, wow. I just cant get enthusiastic about going to the theatre anymore, due to the fact I have a better theatre experience in my own home (with the exception of not having other patrons me, mind you). The color gamut on this gets to 100%, whereas many TVs only go to 60% of the color output. The picture, needless to say, is superb. [Misc] Bluetooth audio -- yes, it works with bluetooth surround sound. Works very well. Lumens (very good for this price) at 2900. You can have even modest ambient light, and get a perfectly well formed, and rich picture. Aspect Ratio - Native: 16:9 widescreen (4:3 resize,16:10 resize); compatible with 4:3 with Normal, Full or Zoom Modes Supported Resolution - 3840 x 2160, Full HD 1080p/i, HD 720p, 576p/i, 480p/i Replacement lamp: 250 W UHE Lamp Life: ECO Mode: Up to 5,000 hours (~2500 movies) Medium Mode: Up to 4,000 hours (~2000 movies) High Mode: Up to 3,500 hours (~ 1750 movies) Max projection size: 300 Weight: ~15lb (on the heavy side, but not out of the ordinary. Its a big projector) [Closing] This is a 4k premium projector that has a lamp life that last a very long time, and gives you a picture that exceeds almost all projectors sub $1.5k Is it worth it to spend more? Absolutely -- if youre going for a true cinema replacement experience (and a full on gaming experience). Excellent 4k projector

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.

This is a TERRIFIC projector. Im a trial lawyer, and I bought it to display documents to the jury on a screen at trial. The old projector made it hard to tell whether someone had initialed a document or not. This one, by contrast, made the evidence clear and convincing, as we say in my line of work. Youll love it. You will also need to figure out some way to carry it around, because it is a big mother, but worth the heft.

Came with Epson Certified Refurbished sticker on the top. Sadly, focus uniformity was poor and it wasnt any brighter than my 2200-lumens HT1075 with 3K hours on the bulb. I will say it was very quiet.

This projector has all the bells and whistles that one would want in a modern projector. The projector accepts a wide range of placement from 4 feet to 30 feet and this should fit most use case scenarios. The picture was sharp, detailed and bright after calibrating. The fan noise was acceptable in a normal apartment. PROS - image quality is top notch with 4K source and pixel shifting - capable of up to 3000 lumen brightness, but you wont come anywhere near this once calibrated - full 10 bit color gamut - HDMI 2.0 for 18 Gb/s throughput - low input lag (in the mid 20s ms), great for gaming - built in 10W speakers an also capable of Bluetooth aptX output CONS - Not true 4K but unless you have another few thousand you want to shell out, this is the best it gets - No optical digital audio out, audio out is analog only using 3.5mm stereo jack

Even with some light this projector still shines so bright

Good Quality projector
