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

4K picture is great

Picture is very clear on our wall even without a screen. Sound quality is actually impressive. Greet purchase love it. We have this on our Xbox too which is amazing.

This projector offers 4K HDR and 3D. It is not native 4K but instead uses a 1080p array and some clever technology to achieve 4K. Nonetheless, the result looks very accurate and detailed. For the price, this is a great way to achieve near native 4K resolution. I didnt have any technical issues in use and the remote was straightforward to use. Likewise, I didnt notice any image artifacts in use. With HDR, the picture is bright but a decent screen is needed if there is ambient light. It is rather large and heavy compared to 1080p projectors so that could be an issue for some.

This Epson 3200 projector finds an excellent balance between price and performance. Of course, there are more expensive projectors with more features and better contrast ratios, but this one is an excellent choice for most people who want to casually watch movies or play games in a family room or outside on summer nights. This is not a truly native 4K projector. It uses a technology called pixel shifting to effectively double the resolution of a 1080p LCD. If you have a 1080p video source, pixel shifting will make the image just a little sharper, but the beauty of this projector is that it accepts a true 4K input which allows the pixel shifting technology to really shine. The picture quality and sharpness is amazing. When its in 4K mode with a 4K video source, it looks MUCH better than 1080p. Its not quite as good as a native 4K projector (which are still VERY expensive), but its surprisingly close to it. Contrast is pretty good in the proper conditions (a dark room), but suffers a bit if theres ambient light in the room. Youll have to pay more if you want a 100,000:1 or even 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio to get good blacks with some ambient light. There are two HDMI inputs, both of which support 4K HDR at 60fps, with full 10-bit HDR. Audio out is only a stereo mini jack, so if you want to play movies through your surround sound system youll have to take the audio from the source into your stereo, and just feed video to this projector. With some video players this may not be an option, so to solve this problem there are inexpensive HDMI audio splitters available on Amazon if you want to go this route. Just search for HDMI audio extractor. The projector is 3D capable but I dont have any 3D glasses so I cant rate how that works. It seems like 3D isnt being supported much these days, but if you have a 3D library and a set of glasses, its great that you can get some life out of them with this projector. The only downside to this projector is that the fan is pretty loud when the lamp is on full brightness. You wouldnt want to be sitting right next to it while watching a movie because the fan noise would be distracting. You can use ECO mode which reduces the brightness and reduces the fan noise if that suits your setup better. ECO mode reduces the power consumption from 386W to 291W, and also has the benefit of extending your lamp life from 3500 hours to 5000 hours. A replacement lamp (part V13H010L85) can be purchased for about $110, which is pretty reasonable. You can replace the lamp yourself fairly easily. The product manual explains how to do it step by step. Overall, this is an excellent quality projector from EPSON and youd be hard pressed to find a better image quality at this price point. The pixel shifting technology gives you about 80-90% of the quality of a true native 4K projector at a much more budget friendly price.

Wow! Its really bright and sharp. I love how the Epson projectors are bright even when the picture isnt just white. If your comparing just lumen to lumen, know that the the Epson 3LCD has the same bright level for white and color. The advertised brightness for a DLP is just white brightness and it loses brightness even with solid colors. The picture is bright. Its really good looking. Contrast is very good for a projector and my understanding is that its even better for the 3800. (I really feel that brightness is more important than contrast for any room with any ambient light). The picture quality is spectacular. We tried a screen, but we just use a white wall for projection because who wouldnt want a wall size picture! I have a cheap led pico projector, but its worthless compared to something like this. Dont get hung up on the size of the projector or cheap out. Once you see the picture thats as bright and sharp as this, youll know why its worth the money. The only thing I wish for is a digital sound out. It has a 3.5mm out for sound and I would love a optical or digital sound out. Yes, it does now do bluetooth, but I dont want any interference for my wireless controllers when gaming. I use an HDMI audio extractor between my source and the projector to send the sound my speakers. I guess not having sound in the projector does make sense because many might need long audio cables, but I still think it would be nice to have it. Ive had cheap projectors. I cant imagine going back to 1000-2000 lumens after this. I cant imagine wanting a small projector that does 100-500 lumens and having to put blackout curtains just to see anything. I think small projectors have a place, but for the home theatre or gaming system, you want something bright and accurate. Its really awesome to watch my wall size 4k movies, and wall-size ps4 pro 60fps is pretty breathtaking too. I totally suggest this!

Bright and clear picture, with very adjustable!

Family loves this projector. We are enjoying the warm evenings with movie nights almost daily. It plays action shows without a hitch and volume/fan is fine. No need to get extra speakers I highly recommend this item.

I love this projector. It was easy to setup and is quiet. It’s a projector so you can hear the fan, but one of my couches is right below it, and I can only really hear it during the real quiet scenes. I replaced an older Epson projector with this one and am happy.

Projectors have to serve a lot of different needs. Some people need them to be used in a brightly sunlit room during the day. Others need them for 3d movies. Others need the projector for text and images. All of us probably want a great picture and large screen wow experience. I have a dedicated theater room that is painted with dark brown walls and ceiling and blackout curtains. It is like a movie theater. I do not have to worry about brightness of the projector. That gives me some tradeoffs with this projector. This projector is EXCELLENT for a bright room that needs extra lamp power to overcome the brightness. For me, that means I can run in ECO mode and the fan is reduced and the brightness is still very good - and my blacks are better too. This is a pretty good projector for a theater room setup. It is also pretty good for a sunlit room setup as well, but you will experience tradeoffs. By running in full brightness mode at an insane 2900 lumens, the projector can actually be functional in a bright room. The fan will run a good deal more, and it will be noisier to overcome this - but it is better than having a weak picture. The colors are bright and saturated and the image is CRISP and CLEAR. For those who care about the details, it is not a true 4k picture, but for practical purposes and to many people, it is so well done that it gives the performance of a 4k picture at a fraction of the cost. Right now, a true 4k projector is VERY EXPENSIVE. The Epson Home Cinema 3800 4K PRO-UHD 3-Chip Projector with HDR gives you the look and feel of a true 4k image without the obscene price of a true 4k projector. It is large too - in most installed setups, this should not matter. If you are carrying it around as a portable unit, this could matter. Overall, this is a great budget choice projector that can handle very bright room installations (think of a living room with windows that dont get completely dark or a classroom or court room or business conference room.) If you are a true aficionado of high end projectors, this may fall a slight bit under the top end projectors, but it also falls a good bit under the prices of those projectors. I have a lot of friends who have MUCH CHEAPER projectors than this, so it is a fairly upper-mid-range projector and you will absolutely appreciate the many extras and higher performance of this projector. It does 3D and it will absolutely handle a bright room - feature that a great many people need and wish for. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a GREAT PROJECTOR at a price point of around $1,500. I would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends and Epson is a great brand name and projectors are one of their EXCEPTIONAL product lines. One comment on that... Most companies are known for being really great at CERTAIN PRODUCTS. Epson is known for printer and another one of their excellent products is PROJECTORS. Right now, with the exit of Panasonic from the projector market, Epson is very possibly right there with Sony and maybe one other brand among the top-3 projector companies out there. You cannot go wrong with this projector in my opinion as long as you know the quirks and they dont affect your situation.

Thank you so much for reading this review!

There’s nothing quite like seeing a classic epic film on the big screen, but this projector makes it possible to come as close as you can at home. It’s not too heavy or too big, so you can either permanently set it up or bring it out as needed for movie night or the big game. The picture is great and compatible with 4K for the highest quality video you can have.
