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

Good Quality projector

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.

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

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.

We are very happy with our purchase. We painted our white wall to a light grey to use as our projector screen and it works very well. A massive upgrade from our previous short throw projector. If you’re looking for a home projector to stream movies or play games, this is a good buy.

I bought the epson 3800 renewed from Amazon and I could not focus the projector whatsoever. Focus uniformity across the four quadrants was horrible. I doubt I’ll pursue another electronics purchase from Amazon. A huge waste of time.

This projector is bright. I did not notice color issues or bluish tint when using dynamic. HDR looked good. The lens on this projector is a problem. When fully zoomed out, there is a clear difference in the focus. You are not able to focus the entire picture. If you have text on a screen at the top and bottom and middle, you have to pick two of them to be perfect and one to be slightly blurred. Or you can make them all a little off. This was reproduced at a zoomed in level, but not as noticeable. The fan on this is loud. Unless you are in ECO mode, medium and high power consumption is annoyingly loud. High is unbearable unless you have a party.

Very pleased with the quality of this projector. The picture is very sharp. Just what we needed to complete our movie room!

This thing is amazing!!! The picture is bright, the colors are incredible, and the blacks are as black as I’ve seen in a projector! All that and I only use it outdoors where there’s plenty of ambient light. The projection is so bright I was able to watch a movie before sunset. Great product! Thank you!

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.
