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

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!

I was not sure if i was making the right choice. I wanted to go with the benq 4k HT3550 for better color and pixels. I decided to go with epson due to the flexibility in placement. I was really surprised with the brightness and clarity of the picture. DLP can produce double pixels but the image enhancement chip in epson is doing an exceptional job in brining the picture to life. Note: Availability and price of Benq OEM replacement lamp is really a con.

Received this on 3/18/21. This is a replacement for an older Epson projector. The difference in quality, clarity, brightness, and overall viewing pleasure is significant. The picture is so crisp and clear, I can see eye brow hairs on the butler in Downton Abby! So glad we purchased this product. We would highly recommend this. The whites are bright and I may adjust them down but would much rather brightness than dark and dull. My only regret is that we didnt upgrade sooner. I have a theater room and this projector is approximately 12-13 feet away from an 8x5 screen.

Steve 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!

Super nice projector but I am returning. Seems to have an extremely annoying brightness shifting during scenes. Ive tried the different color modes, Ive tried the different Image Enhancement modes. Ive also tried searching through the menus to see if there is anything that would cause the brightness shifting. Cant figure it out, sad Im returning it. Great picture quality and nice and quiet on Cinema and Natural setting.

We placed the unit about 18’ away from the screen wall, and the diagonal is about 160”. Even stretched to this size it is as clear or better than my 70” flatscreen! Never expected it to look this good.

Heavy (compare with Optoma UHD-50X), I dont feel very comfortable sitting under it. Kind of noisy (compare with Optoma UHD-50X) Picture is sharp in the middle but blurry on the sides. The BIGGEST problem is, it doesnt work with the 50ft HDMI 2.0 cable I laid behind the wall and ceiling! I tried many different computers and a SONY Blu-ray disk player, NO SIGNAL! It only worked with a Acer Laptop computer. VERY FRUSTRATED! Finally, I got the Optoma UHD-50X, it worked right the way! And the Optoma is so much lighter, quieter, image is sharp everywhere! I can finally relaxed and enjoyed the big screen. Compare with the UHD-50X, This projector looks better, and the quick corner function is so much easier to adjust the screen.

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.

Only 3.5mm port for audio out. Need to get a 4k hdmi earc splitter to connect sonos
