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

Before I had this, I had a BenQ w1070. My biggest complaint with that scream was that the room had to be pitch black to not look washed out. The picture quality was fine. The Epson 3800 has a wonderful picture quality. The blacks look black and the colors seem realistic. Most important, I have used this projector with a lot of ambient light, both from lamps and overhead lights as well as daylight. It looks great. It doesn’t look washed out at all. The frame rate is tremendous and seems steady.

We 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.

I need to begin by noting that for the last couple of years I have been spoiled by mostly watching on a 55” OLED I purchased for my bedroom and I have to note that it is unfair in my mind to base a projector against an OLED screen. Although to black levels on the projector are as good or better than any I have used it could not possibly compare to the OLED screen I had become so accustomed to. Otherwise I am impressed by this units performance given its price level. I also cannot compare it to the new laser projectors which are far above the price of this projector. I own a large number of projectors or er the last 15 years and although some of the HD/3D units are very close to the picture quality of this one they all fall a bit short. What they do not have is bluetooth, which I was happy to see is included in this one. After spending several days watching about thirty movies and barring myself from watching my OLED screen I can say this far exceeds my expectations. I have enjoyed it so much that I began to use my home theater more and have begun to upgrade my sound system. If you are considering a first time projector at this price point then I do recommend this projector. If you are looking to upgrade to 4K but are not able to shell out at least two or three times as much money for a laser projector then I also recommend this unit. Update: After using for a few months it started making a loud buzzing noise whenever an image is projected. When it goes to no image it stops so its not the fan. Very annoying. Update 2: After using this wonderful 4K projector for over a year I have experienced just one problem, that until just recently I had no idea what was causing it. The problem was a very loud and annoying sound from the unit, especially when projecting bright scenes. The sound is difficult to describe in words and the best I can do is that of n electronic buzzing. If you are experiencing the same thing you will know what I mean. The other day I just got so fed up with it I decided to try again to see if I can do anything to stop it short of opening the unit up and playing around with something I am no way qualified to do. I decided to just change settings to see if anything made a difference. After about half an hour of switching settings off and on I finally hit pay-dirt. I have always preferred the “Dynamic Mode” setting for color mode. I changed it to Cinema Mode and played a movie that I had just experienced the annoying sound and to my surprise it was gone. It turns out that the sound is evident only when in the Dynamic color mode. Although I prefer that color mode the trade off in eliminating the noise is worth it. I hope no one else has experienced this problem but if so I suggest this as a fix.

I ended up using a wireless HDMI cable. Wi-Fi connection requires a separate device and seems complicated. Otherwise it’s a great projector.

1st unit - shuts off automatically when PC is connected (epson 3500 did not do this). No apparent way to stop it. 2nd unit- left side has significant ghosting (see photo), while right is perfect. Cant be adjusted out. I am center with no keystone or geometry adjustments. Not near as bright as my old 3500. Epson said to send for service or return. 3rd unit- Very bright like it should be, but impossible to focus parts of the screen, like the 2nd projector, just in different areas. Debating giving up, trying again, or living with it.

Just 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.

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.

The projector has converted one of our room upstairs into a movie theater. I am going to keep the review to basics for everyone to easily satisfy their most common use case - watching variety of movies at home with readily available stuff at home. It connects with our bluetooth sound far, the picture rate is fast moving and bright - even with the sun coming in from the windows in the room, there are ample adjustments to adjust the horizontal and vertical pictures, the zoom and the sharpness, we have plugged in a chromecast in the back, and can simply stream using any device with the chromecast - meaning netflix/prime from iphone/ipad works, the supplied remote works great. We have seen all sorts of movies and shows including action, sports, cartoons, music videos, documentaries. The inbuilt speakers are handy - of course, much better to connect with other home theater speakers or sound bars. (If I were to pick one thing to improve - the protective cap for the projector lens - have it attached with a cord or have a slide on cover mechanism so that we dont have to keep track of it when you remove and kludge put it back on. ) This projector is not even comparable to our earlier old projector - difference of day and night. The family actually wants to use the media room now to see movies.

Product worked fine, until it stopped working after four months of use. After a month of calls and e-mails to Epson, they refused to honor their warranty, claiming that DIGJUNGLE was a third party seller through Amazon, and that DIGJUNGLE was responsible for the warranty. I contacted DIGJUNGLE, and two and a half weeks later, they replied requesting the product serial number which I sent them. It has been two another weeks with no reply either from DIGJUNGLE or Amazon. I am stuck with an $1,800 projector that wont work and no further recourse. Am disappointed Amazon, DIGJUNGLE, and especially Epson.

This isnt the flagship Epson project but for the price I think it is an excellent value and hits a sweet spot balance of price and performance. The projector isnt as large as some of the other higher end models which I find is a plus. It is easier to mount and isnt as visible in a smaller room. The 4K picture is not quite the best 4K experience Ive seen but it is very close and considering the price it is good enough for me. It is bright even in rooms with lots of windows. I really like the colors. Very vivid if you like it that way. Relatively quiet I find it does produce a good amount of heat like most projectors do. I can heat up a smaller room so be sure there is plenty of ventilation. 5 stars.
