> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI’ve had the projector for almost a year now and all I can said is that’s it’s everything that i paid for… the Picture is great!! And along with all the great features it has duel inputs which is a lifesaver… Knock on wood the only thing Ive has to do was clean the air filter… it’s definitely upgrade from the old generic 1080p!! Highly recommended for any set-up!! What made it so much easier was being able to pay monthly for it!

> 3 dayI did not know about this feature when I purchased this projector, but my favorite feature is the Anamorphic wide setting in the Aspect setting. My screen is 16:9 and I like filling the whole screen. Most movies now are 235-1 which have black bars on the top and bottom of my 16:9 screens. The Epson 3800 does a great job filling the entire screen using the Anamorphic Wide setting even in 4K. For me, the stretch is not that noticeable and it doesnt cut out the width like the zoom. I also think it works for 3D movies, but I havent tested it yet. The manual says this mode Displays images recorded at Cinema Scope size when you attach a commercially available anamorphic lens to the projector, however, you do not need to buy a anamorphic lens - it works as shipped. I will make the rest simple - If you want a great picture and are using your projector in your living room with moderate daylight, want to view 3D movies and dont care about perfect blacks, and want to fill 16:9 screen this is the projector for you. Finally, 3000 lumens make most viewing great using the Eco mode.

> 3 dayWe installed it in the basement under a drop ceiling. Projected on a wall that I painted with projector paint. It is BRIGHT!!! .. I had to reduce the brightness when the room is darkened. But it works well even with some light. I combined it with Sony Sound amp and it is like a movie theater in the basement now. The image here is with all lights in the basement turned on. Awesome.

> 3 dayWriting this because sadly I didnt see it in the reviews. This projector looks like a projector from little big world in Mario. Its huge. And heavy. This is what I get for reading too many reviews focused on image quality. I didnt even take it out of the packaging just straight back to amazon lol.

> 3 dayThis is my first projector, and so far Ive been pretty pleased with it. Set up for me has been tedious, but only because my home layout isnt conducive for projector use. Right now I have to have a temporary set up for use and then put everything away when done. Set up was fairly simple. Some minor adjustments were needed to fit the space I was using. The projector made short work of it and looked fantastic even on a makeshift screen. I am currently pairing this with an Xbox One X with its stellar 4k playback and excellent gaming library. Movies are amazing, from older films that have been rereleases on 4k to the latest releases like Avengers. Gaming was so so. Im used to gaming on a small monitor and found myself drawn away from what I should be doing in game because I was too busy looking at everything else. I will probably refrain from gaming further as I would like to try and extend bulb life as long as I can. Replacement bulbs are fairly inexpensive and seem to have a pretty decent life to them. Image quality seems to be pretty great too in low ambient light situations as well, however I have been going as far as I can to make it as dark as I can but thats just me. Overall I am pleased with the projector but wish I could give it a dedicated home.

> 3 dayI got this Epson Home Cinema Projector to place in another room that Im working on turning into a mini home theater in my house. I own another Epson projector and Ive been very pleased with their quality, so I expected just the same out of this one. The most amazing part about this projector is the absolutely excellent video quality. It transmits using 4K PRO-UHD technology, which I really dont understand a lot about. But it basically helps to improve the resolution, color, and image processing. Its got a 3-chip that puts out just beautiful and vibrant color while using pixel-shifting. The brightness is also exceptional and seems to be just perfect for any viewing experience. Its got a multitude of connections including: 2 HDMI ports, USB, and a 3.5 mm audio out. I wish it came with an optical audio output, but I guess thats starting to be replaced by HDMI anyway. The projection can output all the way up to a 150 display, but I dont think I even have space for that in the room Im using. Im currently using a 120 projection with the projector set back about 12 feet, which is just perfect for what I need. I mounted mine to the ceiling using one of the mounting kits that you can buy, so thats something youll want to consider most likely. You can also set it up on a tabletop, but Id imagine thats probably not the best scenario for most people. You might also consider buying a projector screen for placing on the wall to get the absolute best display. So prospective buyers should consider factoring those additional costs into their budget on top of the price of the projector. Finally, Ive been able to connect all of my peripheral devices without any issues including: Amazon Fire Stick, laptop, PS4, blu-ray dvd player, and DirecTV receiver. Overall Im extremely satisfied and impressed with the quality and performance of this Epson Home Cinema Projector. The amazing video quality and incorporated technology make this an amazing projector that can be had at a reasonable price when you consider that a lot of 4K projectors run around $5,000 or more.

> 3 dayThis is a 4K projector from Epson that is meant to play games, films, and sports/regular TV. Lets get right to it: [Setup] In general, easy and quick here. Its a turn on and go type of setup. However, if you want to get really in depth with the settings, it is *definitely* there should you want to. Were talking the ability to adjust *any* aspect of the picture (brightness, saturation, color, white balance, sharpness, etc etc). However, I played with the settings just a little (mostly to turn all the enhancements off) and found it just peachy. There are adjust picture controls inside the menu and on the projector. I was able to get the geometry to perfectly match up (at least to my eyes) to a rectangle. Lens shift details are: Vertical: -60.0% to +60.0% (H center) Horizontal: -24.0% to +24.0% (V center) Inputs are: 2x HDMI® 2.0 (18 Gbps) HDCP 2.2 1x USB Type A 2.0 A power supply (for streaming devices) 1x USB (for wireless accessory and firmware updates) 1x Mini USB (service only) 1x Audio out mini plug (3.5 mm) [Picture Quality] Its superb as far as projectors go. You dont really know what youre missing, until you see the difference. I can say that even with a $100 projector, that its clear enough to watch a movie. With a $500 projector, I can say its very clear -- and even looks quite good. With this 4k projector, it starts to change from yea, this is a good projector picture to competing, and succeeding your LED TV. The real strength here is with color and crispness. Its *better* than a digital cinema, for example. It rivals LED TVs (succeeds a lot of them in my opinion). However, as others have mentioned, the black levels are diluted and muggy. Eh, not much else to say with that -- but the black levels are mediocre. You wont notice it unless youre really looking, but its similar to a theatre experience. The 4K picture, though, with 4K content -- just, wow. I just cant get enthusiastic about going to the theatre anymore, due to the fact I have a better theatre experience in my own home (with the exception of not having other patrons me, mind you). The color gamut on this gets to 100%, whereas many TVs only go to 60% of the color output. The picture, needless to say, is superb. [Misc] Bluetooth audio -- yes, it works with bluetooth surround sound. Works very well. Lumens (very good for this price) at 2900. You can have even modest ambient light, and get a perfectly well formed, and rich picture. Aspect Ratio - Native: 16:9 widescreen (4:3 resize,16:10 resize); compatible with 4:3 with Normal, Full or Zoom Modes Supported Resolution - 3840 x 2160, Full HD 1080p/i, HD 720p, 576p/i, 480p/i Replacement lamp: 250 W UHE Lamp Life: ECO Mode: Up to 5,000 hours (~2500 movies) Medium Mode: Up to 4,000 hours (~2000 movies) High Mode: Up to 3,500 hours (~ 1750 movies) Max projection size: 300 Weight: ~15lb (on the heavy side, but not out of the ordinary. Its a big projector) [Closing] This is a 4k premium projector that has a lamp life that last a very long time, and gives you a picture that exceeds almost all projectors sub $1.5k Is it worth it to spend more? Absolutely -- if youre going for a true cinema replacement experience (and a full on gaming experience). Excellent 4k projector

> 3 dayThis is my first projector and loving it so far. Have had it for over about a week and have it on a 92 inch fixed frame screen. Was able to get the corners aligned and scything without much hazle. The lens shift dials at the top make it easy to move the screen UP/DOWN & LEFT/RIGHT by a good amount so you minimize keystone and quick corner use. Noticed that the center tents to be focused while the edges are out of focus, started playing with the Sharpness settings and bumped it up all the way and was able to focus the edges of the screen without issue. You should be able to bring down the HDR settings so image is brighter while keeping the ECO setting to expand bulb life.
