    Have already made plans to have a drive-in night when the weather warms up. Was able to get a 70 plus inch picture from 10 feet away. Great picture clarity, color and contrast, easily viewed in a sunlit room and no deterioration of quality at larger sizes. The picture is very adjustable and and the controls are full-featured and duplicated on the unit and remote. The picture orientation is slightly down, the unit is designed to be hung overhead. The unit is huge and heavy you will want to make sure it is well secured hung overhead, maybe have it sit high on top of some furniture at the back of the room. The power cord appears to be about 10 feet long great for reaching that power socket lower down the wall. The Bluetooth is practically an afterthought and clearly not the preferred way they want you to hear the sound, it is only A2DP compliant. It really is designed to be installed and left in one place with wire connected speakers. If that is what you are looking for it is highly recommended for you.

    I almost didn’t pick up this projector due to repeated concerns about focus uniformity. I’ve had no issue whatsoever with this. I think it may be because I didn’t require a ton of vertical or horizontal lens shift though I did use it. This picture is bright enough to be serviceable in a room with three windows during the day and when the lights go out it’s truly special. The contrast is truly phenomenal. Does it have OLED blacks? No. But I’ve got a 100” image and it’s a more beautiful picture than any modern tv I have in my home. I’d be shocked if you could find anything better for a similar use case for $1500 refurbished (what I paid.) If you don’t want to pay $3000 this is a great projector for you.

    Back in the 1990s and 2000s I had several Epson projectors and generally they were refurbished units. They all performed very well and I could see no difference in quality from a new unit. This year I have tried two Epson products, the LS300 ultra short throw and this unit the Home Cinema 3800 and both were refurbished and both had issues and were defective. The 3800 has bad and crackling speakers and when they did so, it would cause the image to flicker. Also the video playback would randomly shut off by itself and the unit would power down. Also the remote would not power down the unit. In order to turn it off, you had to turn it off at the unit. Also the 4k image quality has not as expected. The black levels were not good. There were no blacks just light greys. Black levels were far better on SD but still not great. 4k playback looked very good in bright scenes and dismal in dark scenes. This was actually the same with the LS300 which had an alleged contrast ratio or 1000,000:1 but it looked more like 5000:1. Maybe this was due to the units being refurbished but possible Epson is simply not what it used to be.

    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.

    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.

    Wow, this with a 100 inch screen and ceiling mount is fab. Really great for movie night at home. Buy it, you will love it. Really awesome picture. I use a home theater Dolby receiver with nice speakers and a large sub so don’t use the project sound at all.

    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.

    I was hesitant to purchase based on some reviews complaining of inconsistent sharpness across the image. Here I am to tell you this is absolutely true. When I perfect focus the center to see the pixels, the edges are blurred. I can focus the edges, but then lose the center. Cannot focus entire screen. I have laser leveled the projector dead center to the screen and am within its range (17.5ft for 120”). I just got a replacement unit, exact same problem. Specifically bad in bottom right corner. Oh and lo and behold other reviewers complaining of the same bottom right corner. These things are a pot shoot. Maybe you’ll get a good one, I got two bad ones. I’m done. NOT a quality device, just has expensive components. Doesn’t matter what the windows look like if the foundation is trash. That’s this. Don’t fall for it. Plastic junk.

    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.
