Great (Fake) 4K Projector
I said fake 4K projector because it’s not native4k. Putting that on the side, this projector out of the box looks great. Before i got this projector i was in the market for a 75” tv since I been all in on the Dolby Vision since I got my oppo 203 years ago so I hesitate to buy a projector. But I have a dedicated room and I said I will get a projector so I can have a better experience. With the size of the screen (110”) and the quality of the image i don’t miss the Dolby Vision at all. This projector has a good features like: Vertical and horizontal lens shift that it makes the screen adjustment a lot easier. 3000 Lumens so you can get a good image even with the lights on. 3d which is a plus and it looks great, my family enjoy the 3d movies. A lots of options to calibrate the image. One thing I recommend is to use cinema with eco mode not only will save the life of the lamp and you can still have a great quality image but if you go with a higher set up the fan became loud and hot. I don’t notice the fan sound when I’m using the home theater Sound but even listening the movie with my sound I use the cinema and eco mode. Overall it’s a great projector if you don’t want to spend more money on a native 4K. I’m really happy I got this projector even more for the price I paid for it, it was on sale $1299 the price at the moment of this review is $1699 so if you see it on sale get it.

Nice with some hiccups
I purchased the 3800 after trying several other projectors that just were not the visual quality (color, brightness) I wanted in a movie room. Installation was simple enough with a ceiling mount purchased from Amazon using one leg in front and 2 in the back. (Vivo-MOUNT-VP02B) The picture quality is amazing and extremely bright. I find it also shows well when watching with my curtains open. What I didn’t like is the setup! It’s a pain!!! No matter how level it was and going through an iterative process of making it fit to my 120” projector screen, it just wouldn’t fit all the corners. I tried using the keystone, and it’s useless. It really distorts the picture. I had to finally decide that I was going to accept that some movies might have a slightly lopsided edge. There are times the entire screen is filled, but many times, due to a movie’s natural format, it shows in a rectangular shape in the middle of the screen. This is fine, except the left side of the image is always slightly smaller than the right, giving a lopsided look. For the price, this projector should have automatic focus and auto keystone. My family is ok with trading this small imperfection for the picture quality. The other thing I didn’t like is, I could never get it to connect to Bluetooth devices through the built-in Bluetooth on the Epson. It would recognize the item, yet still not connect to play through my Onkyo speakers. The instructions say the devices need to be A2DP compatible which all were. It would show it found the device but still wouldn’t play. What I eventually did was connected a Bluetooth device (Esinkin- W29-us) purchased from Amazon directly to my purchased firestick. In this case, the Bluetooth device is connected to my Audio input through the red and white cords in the front of my Onkyo. I went to the settings of the Bluetooth on my firestick, and selected the Esinkin. Voila!! It plays through my surround sound. I do have DirecTV hooked up, but I’ve not quite figured out how to play it through the speakers. I’m going to try one more device and will update. All in all, my family loves it. It gives a very movie like experience. For this reason alone, I would recommend.

EPSON 3800 - one of the best projector!
I hope my story will help someone. Initially I had BENQ 2050 - very nice projector but only FullHD not 4k. I started to look what I can buy on a market with 4k. First I got Optoma UHD50X - was nice but black level was bad, also some issues with focusing on the screen, time by time half of the screen went to green - returned it. Second I decided to back to big TV instead of projector (after 3 years watching only projector) , got Sony 85" X91J - nice picture, nice colors, black level is awesome, but I found out that my eyes were hurt by watching this big TV at night (after a couple days) - still have that TV but watching only on day-time. Third I tried ViewSonic PX748-4K - overall pretty nice projector for the price (~900), no black level at all, picture was not super crispy with any settings and it was pretty LOUD - returned. Finally I got Epson 3800 - picture is awesome, crisp and detailed (need to tweak some settings), color are fantastic (pretty much the same as on 85" Sony TV), silent (on ECO mode - I am using it all time), black is not too black, but as I understand, after I got TV with perfect black, that's not important, you need to check whole picture not just black level and no more hurt eyes. I am happy!!!
