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

This is a TERRIFIC projector. Im a trial lawyer, and I bought it to display documents to the jury on a screen at trial. The old projector made it hard to tell whether someone had initialed a document or not. This one, by contrast, made the evidence clear and convincing, as we say in my line of work. Youll love it. You will also need to figure out some way to carry it around, because it is a big mother, but worth the heft.

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.

This is our first time using a home theater projector and we love it. We’re able to project a massive 130+” picture and still retain great brightness in a room which is not purpose built for projectors...one of our bedrooms. The picture attached is an initial test, not even at HDR brightness. Picture is solid, bright and HUGE. Setup was literally plug and play with some minor focusing + and adjustments of the lens + feet. Doesn’t have any “smart tv” capabilities but that’s fine, we’re using an Apple TV 4K and it works great. Comes with decent speakers which was surprising, definitely not room filling action movie sound but good enough for some basic video watching. My only “con” to this projector is lack of Dolby Vision. A lot of Apple TV content (Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video) is at Dolby Vision quality while this projector is at HDR 10, not a deal breaker but would have preferred Dolby Vision capability are this price point. Still, the picture is GREAT...not LED/OLED bright but the size this thing projects at, the picture quality and the cinematic brightness (you really don’t need eye piercing brightness when watching in dark) really come together in a solid projector package. You’ll be very happy with this purchase.

This is my very first projector. We have been using it for more than 70 hours now with Elite Screens Spectrum2 120 inch screen. The video input is an old Apple TV which is 1080p. The device is sitting next to the couch and we are using the horizontal and vertical lens shift. What we like so far: - Even with 1080p input, the image quality is fantastic (very detailed and sharp, can count the number of pores on the faces). - In the ECO mode, the machine is pretty quiet. It is next to the couch and it does not bother. In the non-ECO modes, the fan noise is higher but this is not needed unless there is plenty of sunlight. - Bluetooth audio works flawlessly with Klipsch R-51PM. This was a big unknown as specs were confusing in terms of which speakers supported or not. As soon as we turn on the machine, it automatically connects. This capability was very important for us as we do not use A/V receiver and have a stereo + sub setup. When lens shift is maxed out, there is a bit of softness on the shifted corner which we do not mind. Lately, most content is using shallow depth of focus anyway - which I personally find very annoying. Summary: Highly recommend.

Nice 4k quality projector. Bright and really high quality images. Cant complain

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

I thought it was going to be subpar… Ended up being superior!

This projector is very good. We were pleased with the performance. We were able to make the screen very big. We were happy with the company. They are very popular with these projectors. It worked without a problem. It was a big increase in quality from our last one. So far so good.

This projector has all the bells and whistles that one would want in a modern projector. The projector accepts a wide range of placement from 4 feet to 30 feet and this should fit most use case scenarios. The picture was sharp, detailed and bright after calibrating. The fan noise was acceptable in a normal apartment. PROS - image quality is top notch with 4K source and pixel shifting - capable of up to 3000 lumen brightness, but you wont come anywhere near this once calibrated - full 10 bit color gamut - HDMI 2.0 for 18 Gb/s throughput - low input lag (in the mid 20s ms), great for gaming - built in 10W speakers an also capable of Bluetooth aptX output CONS - Not true 4K but unless you have another few thousand you want to shell out, this is the best it gets - No optical digital audio out, audio out is analog only using 3.5mm stereo jack

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.
