Epson 3800 4K Projector weighs just over 15 pounds which isn't too bad and makes it portably convenient to switch back and forth between indoor and outdoor use. After approx 100 hours of use I'm continually impressed with the performance and image quality of the unit.
Epson 3800 4K Projector highlights include color accuracy which is good to go right out of the box (hardly found any reason to tweak further with sources ranging from 4K blurays, 4k streaming services, PS4 & Xbox gaming) and the generously wide range of its vertical and horizontal lens shifting that provides ample placement options even in some tricky setup environments. Brightness is top notch as well with good display quality even in normal ambient lit rooms. HDR performance is amazing and at times makes us squint at its sheer brightness.
The Epson 3800 4K projector built in stereo (2x 10 watt speakers) sound really good to the point where we sometimes forego setup to external sounds sources and also appreciate the full sized, backlit remote control. We normally project this at 100" from a throw around 10.' If you're still rocking a 1080p and below projector this one is definitely worth an upgrade.
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.
I reviewed this against the Optoma uhd50x 2020 model and these two would be neck and neck competitors on paper. Unless you have a dedicated "bat cave" and are willing to put in a lot of extra work to get maybe 10% improvement in sharpness at the possible expense of light output, 4k60 input lag, ability to focus, contrast, color accuracy and color brightness, I found Epson 3800 projector to be superior to the Prtoma UHD50x.
Epson 3800 4K projector PROS
- image quality is top notch with 4K source and pixel shifting
- capable of up to 3000 lumen brightness, but you won't 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 20's ms), great for gaming
- built in 10W speakers an also capable of Bluetooth aptX output
Epson 3800 4K projector 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
