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

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.

Im new to projectors. Only have a cheap $200 one to compare it to. Picture is sharp, very bright, works well in room even when the window shades are open. No complaints. Good value for the money.

Ive used a number of projectors over the years, getting a new one every 2-3 years as the upgrades come out. This is my first 4k projector, but keep in mind this is not true 4k but uses pixel shifting to create a more detailed image. The true 4k projectors start upwards of $5k and get closer to $10k when you factor in HDR, etc. This bridges the gap between 1080p and 4k projectors, and is a great option for multipurpose rooms (e.g. room with windows, family room, etc). I am using this projector in my finished third floor with windows. I have a 50 HDTV on the wall for the kids, and installed a recessed 120 Elite tab tensioned screen with full tower 5.2.2 Atmos speaker setup for everything else (movies). I bought the Epson ceiling mount, which fits perfectly and is very solid. This PJ is big and heavy, so do NOT cheap out on the mount! Its got lens shift and keystone adjustments, so if you are not dead on center or your screen isnt 100% straight, dont worry. The throw distance can be found on projector central, which has a great calculator when you are trying to figure out what size screen you can get and where to mount the projector. I ran a Ruipro 4k HDMI 2.2 cable to ensure I was getting all features available (not all HDMI cables will transmit 4k, Dolby Atmos, HDR, etc). The picture is very bright, and it has 4 setting profiles to select from. To be honest, all the images looked washed out to me, and the blacks are not remotely close to black - more dark gray. I adjusted the picture quite a bit, added a lot of color and increased contrast. Its much better, but still has terrible blacks and poor contrast. I would honestly recommend the 3800 over this due to the increase in contrast if you are very, very serious about image quality. The PJ is relatively quiet except on high settings, where it gets quite loud. Due to the fact that its mounted directly above my head, there is no way I will ever put it on that setting. Mine is on medium, which is still louder than Id like but tolerable. It comes on quickly and shuts down quickly, which is nice (my BenQ took forever). This is my first LCD PJ, as Ive always had BenQ DLP PJs. BenQ was much better with color and black levels, but this LCD is far brighter and has no rainbow effect. Epson bulbs are much cheaper to replace than BenQ DLP. Pros/cons to each. This PJ is good for the money, and a great option for a bright room. HDR looks good, but keep in mind this will never look as good as a 4k HDR TV. Its simply impossible to get the colors and contrast of a TV set, though you can obviously get a much bigger image with the PJ. My family loves watching movies, and watching them in full Dolby Atmos surround is incredible. This is a good, affordable option in the projector world. Hopefully within the next few years, true 4K projectors become affordable.

Very happy with purchase. Picture is great.

The horizontal lens shift dial is defective and does not work. While Amazon is going to refund me, its a shame they sold this product and certified that it works properly when it in fact does not, which a phone call with Epson confirmed. Its a waste of time having to navigate these issues and return the item.

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.

Works quite well right out of the box. There are some issues getting focus perfect in all areas of the screen, but installation went really quick to replace older 720p DLP ceiling mount unit in the same spot. The flexibility of the throw distance made this the right choice. Wide range on optics for zoom and lens shift allow it to go right up. However, as discussed in some forums, it obviously wants a perfectly perpendicular lens geometry for accurate focus. Any down tilt for ceiling throw off keystone and thus requires minor compromise on perfection. I may have to lower the mount to get this right. However, that said for the money this does seem to a sweet spot right now. I wish I waited a few more days because it looks like it is about to break some more on the price, making it even sweeter. I expect that trend to continue over the next few weeks.

Fantastic picture and easy hook up

I am in a completely dark space, using on eco mode, and it is plenty bright. I am currently using an older receiver, so I cant comment on 4k, but everything, from streaming to BluRay to Red Dead Redemption 2, has looked great thus far. I cant imagine spending $5k+ for true 4k. Movies and games in HD are so amazing @ 135 that needing higher resolution for the non-OCD among us seems a little silly. Very little visible screen door, plenty bright, and the only time I really notice a resolution difference (vs led panel) is with live sports. But this seems pretty great, bang for the buck. At the rate Im going, my bulb will be dead in a year, but thats a good thing. It will be hard to play Xbox on anything else now...

We are extremely pleased with this home cinema. The picture is bright and clear, even when the room is not totally dark. It is a huge improvement over our former home cinema projector. We highly recommend it!
