Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great projector for the price. The picture is sharp, and the bulb is very bright.

This a very nice projector. Picture is clear and bright but does not show in the daylight as i was told. I'll be returning.

I did a lot of research on 4K projectors and finally got this. I am very happy with projector quality. The 4K image and the contrast ratio detailing is by far the best for a projector at this price. If you are looking for a 4K projector then this is the best bet.

Easy purchase and easy credit app. The guys at best buy were the greatest.

Bought this and replaced my old 720 projector. My son loves watching movies with his girlfriend.

For the price, excellent resolution, good picture geometry, intuitive signal adaptation, silent operation and solid mechanical design and construction. Hard to go wrong with this projector.

Awesome for price! Not a fan of projector mount being bundled. Bought adjustable mount , way better.

This one is much more powerful than my previous epson

For the past few years I’ve been using the Epson Home Cinema 4000 and a 120” screen in my home theater room. While this has proven to be an excellent unit for UHD Blu-ray viewing it has been disappointing for gaming as it cannot support any signal higher than 4K/24p with HDR. It did not support HDMI 2.0. My Xbox One X and PS4 Pro would sadly inform me that my display is not supported for HDR gaming. The same can be said for any streaming service that only provides HDR at 60hz. === Compatibility === The new Epson Home Cinema 3800 changes that, as it now supports almost any signal you can throw at it. It supports HDMI 2.0 18Gbps signals even those that most sources cannot even produce today such as 4K/60p at 12-bit color depth with no chroma subsampling. It also supports HLG, an HDR format that while not as popular right now is set to become the standard for broadcast television. All of this boils down to say that this projector is somewhat future proof. I wouldn’t expect any compatibility problems between this projector and your source equipment for several years-provided you are using quality high-speed cables (more on that in a min) One thing to keep in mind is that although this projector can accept almost any signal, it has some limitations that will prevent it from actually displaying those sources accurately. The biggest omission is the lack of full coverage for the DCI-P3 color space. Even my older HC 4000 can display 100% of DCI-P3. However, I did some testing between both projectors and while I do not have the equipment to accurately give you a percentage just eyeballing it with some sample wide color gamut content I can say the difference is not enough to make me feel like I’m going to be missing out on much. === Setup === Setup was pretty straightforward. All I had to do was place the projector in front of my screen and use the manual control knobs to adjust the picture’s position both vertically and horizontally. There are two dials attached to the lens itself to adjust both zoom and focus. If you are not mounting it on a ceiling the front feet are also adjustable to level it out. There is keystone correction, however I try to avoid that if at all possible as it will have an effect on your image quality. While I missed the automatic adjustments that I could make from the remote with my old projector this new one made up for it by being smaller and nearly 10 lbs lighter, which made handling and mounting it much less cumbersome. === Image Quality === Upon first firing this projector up, the first thing I noticed is how incredibly bright it is. At 3000 lumens, it’s brighter than any of the current 4Ke projectors in Epson’s Home Cinema lineup, even the much more expensive models. This brightness helps if you cannot avoid some ambient light in your setup but in a dark room it makes the highlights really pop compared to projectors with lesser lumen output. Color accuracy is really good out of the box, I didn’t really have to change anything there. Black level performance will mostly depend on how dark you can get your room, and you will want to put the projector into cinema mode and adjust the brightness and contrast as appropriate. It can still be tough with a projector to find that balance where you don’t crush your blacks or wash them out, and it’s even harder if the lighting in the room changes. Some will say this is not a 4K projector, and while technically accurate, I’d argue that unless you put your nose half a foot from the screen even at these larger sizes you would be hard pressed to see any more detail in the picture. You can definitely tell the difference between 1080p content and 4K, and between content in the BT.709 and 10-bit BT.2020 color spaces (SDR and HDR). Pop in the UHD Blu-ray for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 or Bladerunner 2049 and you will be in awe of how good it looks. === High Speed Cables === The first problem I had upon upgrading was with my existing 35 ft HDMI cable. I have all my sources going through a Denon receiver. Your mileage will vary but on the Denon, you have to set the 4K signal format to “Enhanced” in order to get the higher color depths at 4K/60p. I quickly found out my cable could not support this at that distance. In fact, almost no copper cable can, so I had to order and install an optical HDMI cable instead. Without it, the projector’s display kept cutting out, or there were weird artifacts appearing on the screen. My PS4 just flat out refused to negotiate a signal at all when in enhanced mode. Note, that the projector itself has a similar setting, so if for some reason you want to use this projector with older cables you should be able to, just need to disable it. === Sound === This particular model actually comes with speakers and Bluetooth support. The speakers will work in a pinch, they get pretty loud but do not sound any better than what you might find on a laptop. There’s almost no bass to them. The Bluetooth on the other hand is pretty handy, especially if you have sources that don’t support it like the Nintendo Switch. No complaints there. === Pros === Extremely Bright for a Cinema model Exceptional PQ Up to 300” screen Supports 4K/60p with 12-bit color and 4:4:4 subsampling inputs HDR10/HLG support Two 10w Speakers and Bluetooth support HDMI 2.0 18Gbps (2 ports) Active 3D === Cons === Might require HDMI cable upgrades Does not cover 100% of DCI P3 Black level could be better. No automatic lens cover. Wireless LAN is extra Overall, this projector is an excellent buy. It’s priced right and has superb picture quality. Sure you could easily double your budget and get a few extra features such as WCG support and Ultra Black but unless you’re a serious videophile this projector here checks more than enough boxes for most consumers. Highly recommend!

Great quality product. 4K definition is a must nowadays!

Very nice projector and worth the price. Will surely recommend

Its good but no wifi built in need to get either amazon fire or roku

It idid not work as a wireless solution for me, but it does work perfectly on a good HDMI cable.

it looks great so far however takes some time toadjust the picture quality.

With over 3000 hours on mine now I can highly recommend!

Great product overall, I love the 4K quality of the projector. It makes for a great movie night

Great! Exactly what i expected, my kids love it for gaming also!

Love this... great worth the money. only downside is it is a bit loud

Awesome projector! Great display works in 4k like it says.

It´s a great home cinema projector. But, it is complicated to pairing to external audio speakers via bluetooth.
