    I mostly watch movies, youtube. I had a optoma hd28darbee that was great for games and pretty good for movies and then it failed. I tried one of the optoma laser projectors hz39hdr and the color was horrible way washed out. I looked out of the box and noticed just how good the picture was on the Epson 3800…. WOW incredible color, and detail. In fact it has the best image I have ever seen period!! Only drawbacks when switching inputs it can be slow and buggy so make sure if using a receiver with 4k hdmi switching, you have all the firmware updates done. Also games did look a bit better (sharper) with optoma however with some adjustments and just how good it looks with uhd4k movies I will except that. I mean it looks so good I stayed up to 2am just watching uhd4k content on youtube etc, amazing !!! Buy it you will love it!!!

    Update: I upgraded my receiver to a Yamaha 385 and my HTPC graphics card to a Geforce 1650 and a couple 8k rated 3ft hdmi cables for the computer and my PS4. NOW I am running full 4k HDR signal from my computer and not surprisingly I had to re-calibrate the picture. It looked terrible with the settings I had set up for the 1080p SDR signal. Even resetting everything to default wasnt great. Heres what I ended up with: Brightness=44 Contrast=24 Color Saturation=55 Color Temp=8 GMCorrection=4 With the 4k HDR signal I did not need to adjust the RGBCMY levels at all, default values gave me a well balanced color chart (from calibration disc) with no color clipping at the high end like it did with the SDR signal. I still have my top 4 white levels turned down because theyre too bright, but I think I figured out how to deal with that better. Apparently 4k HDR projectors perform better with a lower gain grey-screen which would make blacks darker and help tone down the intensity of the white levels. I plan on upgrading to a Qualgear 120 High Contrast Gray screen at 0.9 Gain, with tensioners to keep the surface as flat as possible. I have a few areas of my screen that are not focused right, and I suspect it might be due to the wall not being truly flat. Also, its almost impossible to get as smooth of a surface as the tensioned screens using latex paint on a wall. So hanging a new low gain tensioned screen will give me multiple improvements at once as well as a bonus of maxing out my screen size potential at my given throw distance. Going from 104 to a 120 should be quite noticeably larger and hopefully make better use of this projectors incredibly bright image. In light of all this Ive bumped my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I absolutely love it and am glad I wend 3LCD over a new DLP. Even 1080p video upscaled on my computer looks far better than it did on my old 1080p DLP projector. Its considerably better than the projectors own 4k upscaling. Watching 4k HDR video is amazing! My wife didnt think she would notice the difference and I proved her wrong. She loves it too and now isnt as mad at me for spending so much on the upgrades. LOL... Original review for 1080 SDR input: Just got this a few days ago and decided to leave a review now that I have it all setup and calibrated. First of all my setup is in a smallish light-controlled home theater with a 104 DIY screen on the wall painted with a pure white matte latex that should provide about 1.0 gain, and surrounded with trim covered in black felt. Dark walls and a dark vaulted ceiling which extends far above the top of my screen. Projector throw distance is about 11 6. First impressions were just how much larger this unit is than my old DLP projector, easily more than twice as big and required me to purchase a new ceiling mount with arms capable of spanning about 14 diagonal for the mounting screw locations and supporting the roughly 15lbs of weight. I chose the QualGear PRB-717-WHT mount which fit my needs well and worked great on my vaulted ceiling. My mounting height was never right on my DLP projector which forced me to angle it a bit and use keystone correction to fix the out-of-square result. The problem with using keystone is that it does distort your image a little in order to make it appear square. This Epson projector has so much lens shift up and down and side to side that you ideally should not ever need to use keystone. I just kept adjusting the angle of the projector and shifting the image back onto my screen until I got the image all squared up, no keystone required! I bought a new 30ft fiber HDMI 2.0b cable to run from my receiver unit to the projector, which works well. However my receiver and my theater PC currently only support 1080p output. Now that I have a 4k HDR10 capable projector, I plan to shell out another $500 to upgrade my graphics card and receiver unit. So as a disclaimer, I have not yet tested this projector with a true 4k HDR signal. However its proven very adept at upscaling my 1080p signal with 4k enhancement that is clearly superior to my old 1080p DLP projector. Out of box settings were very impressive, but extremely bright and over-saturated in my short throw light-controlled theater. Even turning the projector down with ECO mode still had blaring bright whites and eye popping color saturation, specifically reds and blues. Calibrating the unit.... VERY FIRST THING TO DO: After getting projector mounted, adjusted and focused, and switched into ECO mode, you should do a panel alignment. This lets you accurately adjust the alignment between the red, green, and blue images on your screen and is critical to producing an accurate image and should be done before you adjust anything else. Green panel is not adjustable, you just have to adjust red and blue panels to align with the green one. I suggest switching the color mode to match which color you are adjusting rather than leaving the other color also showing. This will help you see where the lines are at. Adjust each corner first, then look around the screen at all the intersections for any misalignment until you can no longer see the red or blue lines diverging anywhere on the screen. For the rest of the calibrations, I used the AVS Calibration disc you can download from their website. First you set brightness using the flashing black bar screens, then adjust contrast with the flashing white/grey bar screen. Those will tune in your grey scale settings which are the basis of any image being displayed correctly and completely. Then you have to adjust your color settings. I did this with the Advanced> RBGCMY setting and the corresponding color bar chart from the calibration disc. Yellow and cyan bars were fine, showing clear delineation all the was up the scale. Red, green, blue, and magenta colors were clipped at the top bar and required reducing their saturation levels individually until the top bar had a clear delineation between it and the next bar. I didnt change Hue or Brightness settings (default is 50). Once these were all adjusted the resulting picture looked much more natural and balanced with full grey scale details from white all the way to the very deep blacks that this projector can display. I still had one issue though, the whites were unbearably bright. Eye scorching to the point that very bright scenes or bright objects in a dark scene where not comfortable to watch and would definitely lead to eye fatigue, not to mention how distracting it was to the rest of the image. LUCKILY, I found that this projector offers a way to control this intensity in a way I have not seen before. Under the White Balance settings, you have color temp which I set to 7, G-M Correction which I set to 0, Custom which I didnt touch, and finally Grayscale which is where you need to go to tone down the brightness of whites on the screen. This gives you 8 levels of white to adjust, 1 being the darkest and 8 being 100% white. I turned levels 6 thru 8 down to -50 (as far as you can go), and level 5 I set it to -20, 1 thru 4 I left at full brightness. This resulted in a dramatically more enjoyable viewing experience and reduced eye strain. Heres my what I ended up with for the main settings: Brightness: 53 Contrast: 7 Color Saturation: default (individual saturation set with RGBCMY settings for better saturation balance) Tint: default Sharpness: All 0 Color Temp: 7 GM Correction:0 Grayscale: levels 8-6 @ -50, level 5 @ -20, levels 1-4 @ 0 Noise Reduction:15 MPEG Noise Reduction: 2 Super-resolution and Detail Enhancement: default values RGBCMY saturation adjustments: R=30 G=40 B=30 C=50 M=30 Y=50. (default is 50) Conclusions: I am very happy with this projector so far and am glad that there are adequate adjustment settings to get it dialed in because it really was not acceptable with the out of the box settings. Im still not sure why the whites were so dang bright even in eco mode. White objects were almost blinding and made me feel like I had double vision and a hard time focusing on the screen. Luckily the greyscale settings helped fix that. It almost could use a setting lower than -50 for the top 3 white levels. I am absolutely loving the new level of detail and the complete lack of rainbow effect that I had experienced with the DLP projectors, its one of the main reasons I bought this Epson rather than a newer 4K DLP projector from Optoma. I am excited to get the rest of my system upgraded to HDR10 level so I can experience the full potential of this projector, but for now even with a 1080p input it is blowing my old DLP out of the water on picture quality.

    Dont let the specs on the cheap Amazon projectors fool you. This projector at 2900 lumens WAY outshined the WiMiUS projector I bought that claimed to be 9000 lumes (theres a 0% change it was anywhere near 9000 lumens - more like 1200-1500 tops.) With projectors, you get what you pay for. If your plan is to get a movie quality experience in your living room, DO NOT go cheap. Get an Epson or something name brand.

    My 2 yr old LG smart LED projector died from what I suspect was a lighting surge - so after being unable to find a repair shop that could even look at it, I decided to buy this Epson projector. I’ve had excellent experience with other Epson printers in past and they seem to be one of the leaders in the market. We are extremely pleased with it so far. Pros: - image quality and brightness - warranty period - solid build quality (made in Philippines) - kind of subjective but still important to me. - easy setup and adjustability. - low noise on eco mode. On brighter mode it’s more noticeable on quiet movies but still not distracting. Cons: - a bit pricey... - bulkier than our old projector - had to replace the bracket for a stronger one. - having trouble to power off projector from fire stick 4K remote - power on is no problem. May be a fire stick issue. - the manual is on line so keep a device handy during install because navigating menus and setup required manual. - life expectancy of bulb About our setup: - ceiling mount (upside down - very simple menu pick to flip image) using the Epson bracket sold separately for 100 or so dollars. Very solid bracket by the way installed easily. - I installed a surge protector outlet in the ceiling (Leviton) to prevent same fate as first projector. This avoids the ugly look of a surge protector - install took about 1.5 hour or so. Included putting up new bracket and surge outlet - and adjusting picture. - 110 inch screen. Mounted projector about 12-13 ft from screen. - using with fire stick 4K but Slight issue with power off from the fire stick remote. - set to eco mode Overall very pleased with purchase and experience. Recommended.

    This review is not going to cover all the statistical information for this projector. That been covered. I’m going to do an unfair comparison of this projector, and the Epson 5050, pro model, which costs nearly 3 times as much, and I also happen to really like. So here goes. The 5050 has a striking image quality, long lamp life, and digital image tuning. With the remote you can dial in the image, as far as zoom, sharpness, and image/screen orientation. The 3800 shares all these features, though many are manually adjusted on the projector, as opposed to electronically adjusted via the remote. But having the ability to adjust the lens shift, both horizontally, and vertically, makes installation much easier. Not to mention, it dramatically opens the ability to place the projector, where you need it in your room, and still get a great image. I mounted mine on a ceiling mounted shelf/box. My ceiling is just under 8 feet, and the lens distance to the screen is around 13 feet. Sadly, because my mounting setup is a box, as opposed to a mount, my projector sits upright (like a table mounted projector) rather than inverted, as you would with a typical ceiling mount. This projector has a lot of vertical lens shift, but not quite enough to fully shift the image fully down on my screen. Now my mounting choice is highly unusual. Not many people mount a projector in a box, upright, at ceiling height. I decided to do it this way for a few reasons. It blocks 90% of the projector sound, it is lower profile than many ceiling mounts, I like to change projectors fairly frequently, so it’s as simple as setting a new projector in place, and most importantly, the box protects the projector from my family. You never know when a sword fight (nerf swords!!), or football game will break out. As you can see in my attached images, the picture is fully on the screen, but that’s because the image signal is in the wide screen aspect ratio, not the typical 16:9. So the horizontal black bar on the bottom of the image is larger than the one on the top. This is also evidence of how close it was to working. But my screen is a 16:9 ratio, so 16:9 image won’t fit, unless I can lower this projector about 3 inches. If you mount inverted on a typical mount, you will have no issues, and you could even have a much higher ceiling. My Epson 5050 has a lot more vertical lens shift, so I can dial it in perfectly, and it’s my primary projector for this location, so I don’t need to change my setup, because I don’t intend to replace my 5050. It’s a beautiful, professional projector. It’s down side is, it is massive. This means I can only use it in a dedicated spot. The Epson 3800 offers close enough features, and specs, which I doubt most people could distinguish, in a blind test, if viewing in different rooms. The 3800 is perfectly sized to move around. Maybe I want to have a Super Bowl party on my back patio, on our 150 inch outdoor screen. This is a beautiful option. Maybe we want to go camping, and let the kids enjoy a drive in style movie on the beach, another perfect option. Or, maybe one day we downsize and don’t have a dedicated theater room. The highly adjustable ability, small size, and high end image quality, from a cinema style glass projector lens, and quality components, makes this projector a great option. Now my intentions are to use this primarily as our outdoor projector (birthday parties, and other gatherings), and it will be the nicest we have ever had. It would still be a great option for a theater room, if you don’t have budget room for a $4k projector. Not everyone has that room, this is a great substitute, at a fraction of the cost. Need proof, look at my photos. I used roughly the same video clip. I actually paused the clip and swapped out projectors, but it may have moved a frame or two, when I unpaused the clip. The images are very similar. The 5050 is a touch more contrasty (not actually a word, but you get what I mean), and the 5050 was a little brighter, but other than that both images were great. It’s important to note, the source component, screen, and room conditions were identical for each projector. This is as close of an apples to apples comparison, as a random guy at home, can get. In addition to all of that, Epson has a very generous two year warranty, and in my experience, they are easy to deal with, and they get you going quickly, if you have an issue. I’ve only ever had very small issues, and their response was always to replace the projector with a brand new unit (which they ship out quickly) even right up to that two year date. So register your unit, if you buy one. On some items, I often suggest buying the cheap Amazon extended warranty, but unless you think you need more than two years, it think an extended warranty is a waste, because Epsons warranty is so good.

    The flexibility is excellent, the optical lens shifting, full corner pinning and large zoom range, making the projectors placement extremely flexible. I have been using it for outdoor movies this summer, projecting to a 145 screen with ease. The three chip LCD design means no rainbow artifacts -- I replaced a DLP projector, as even slight rainbowing detracts from my movie experience. The colors are good, but just a tad less saturated in the default configuration as compared with the BenQ DLP I replaced. Eight movies later, Ive very happen with this purchase.

    Sorry amazons, I am not really a person into the details of the projector for I my main purpose is to watch movies and sports. One good feature that I like is the Bluetooth. I have an old Denon Amplifier and did not want to run a cable by cutting thru the dry wall and all that pain so I purchased this Bluetooth receive and connected in a seconds. I tested the audio for a lag and personally I did not see any lag. The BT receiver is about 20ft from the projector and see no breaks in voice for now. My main purpose of writing the review is that I searched for BT devices that support the Eposn 3800 aptX Bluetooth technology and found no answers only to find this device and had it shipped overnight for a small fee. Dang it connected and proved compatible. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J3GTRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Weve had this projector for about 4 months. I can definitely say that I am so happy I decided on the Epson 3200. I mounted it on the ceiling about 11 ft from the wall. The picture is about 12 ft diagonal, and it looks amazing. The colors are beautiful, the image is bright even with lights/windows. We use this projector many hours per week for 4k gaming at 60fps. Wow, I cant imagine a better gaming experience. Watching movies is awesome too. Its like having a movie theater in our house. I have the audio connected to a bluetooth speaker, which works fine. My only small complaint is that the focus isnt perfect. For games that have small text on the top and bottom of the screen, I cant seem to get both in exact focus. I have to focus either the top or bottom, and the other one will be just a little blurry. Its such a small nitpick though, its really fine and its barely noticeable from viewing distance. While shopping, I remember debating buying this versus the Optima. I guess Ill never know what that one would have been like, but I have no regrets. I cant imagine it would have nailed everything as perfectly as this one did. I would buy another Epson next time definitely. If youre thinking about buying one, do it.
