Excellent LCD pixel shifter for the price (unless there's a fire sale on 5050s, a refurbished version of this is my next planned projector.) Things to note for those not currently aware it offers a lot of lens shift but there have been numerous reports that as you approach the limit of lens shift, the image is not universally in focus. Replacement lamps are very cheap ($99 from Epson), and this has HDMI 2.0 (only the laser models have 2.1 so far) so shouldn't have issues gaming in 4K HDR (at up to 60fps.)

The number of people complaining about the 3200 is what sent me to the 3800 (and briefly 4100, but HDMI 1.4 was a non starter.) I've got a hard limit of $1,000 and a couple spare bulbs for my current 2350 so I'm okay waiting. I may pull the trigger if this drops another 200 but I'm not worried about refurbished as I think 2/3 of my epsons have been refurbished buys and I've got the ability to use no lens shift if I absolutely have to. (I'm still hopeful that the 5050 replacement will come out soon enough to push the 5050 refurbs to this price at which point I'll throw away my hard limit, i do get that's just a pipe dream at this point, but believing it's possible helps me hold firm on my price limit 🤣)

Do you use a lot of lens shift with your setup? I replaced my 2150 last month with the 3800. I mistakenly assumed the same placement would be fine for the 3800 but I ended up having to use quite a bit shift to move my image down to my screen. I have been somewhat underwhelmed with the focus also so I'm thinking that mine might be related to too much shift. I only use the projector for movies/tv but its annoying to think that I just spent $1400 for something thats just kinda okay.....

I have an extension for my ceiling mount that I need to install to see if I can reduce the amount of lens shift needed and see if it will improve. I might go the return/exchange route also if I can't correct it myself. I'd love to be able to try a 5050 but that one is pretty beefy and my setup is in a living room so it would look pretty odd.
I heard the same and thought my issue was with lens shift, I repositioned everything to not use lens shift at all and the focus issue was still present. In my case lens shift or not, I saw no improvement. Apparently Epson doesn't use the best quality optics on this projector.

For the money it's probably worth it for a movie projector, but video games are bad when all the edge details like stats and such are blurry.

At this price may as well get a new one. Plus the refurbished ones don't have a great reputation for focus uniformity. I tried a refurbished 3200 and it was so bad no matter what I did.
I have always purchased refurbished Epson projectors and never had a problem. I have two 3800s that are refurbished, several 1080 Home Cinemas that are refurbished and a couple 2150 home cinemas. Never had a problem with refurbs.

I have a 13 year old epson home cinema projector, still going strong. I really want to upgrade to 4K, but given the price and technology improvement of large TVs I think im going that route when the time comes. I should have jumped in that 100" Hisense model during Black Friday.

Bought one to replace a Home Cinema 2100. That one had some great options for different viewing positions. This one is even better with a generous vertical and horizontal shift. Got it on a shelf about 12 feet behind the viewing area. Great image! Going to have to add the 4K versions to the Plex server now…

Quote from timbo80 :
I know this is hard to compare second-hand, but how loud are the fans on this? Currently using a cheap projector bought off Amazon a while back and that thing is annoyingly loud.
I only hear the fan when the projector goes though an extended startup, it does this every few months. It seems like a restart and the epson logo will appear and stay for 5 seconds or so. Fan is silent when content is on. It was the lowest price projector I have ever owned and I often think to myself, especially during a football game, "Wow, that's a nice picture". $99 bulbs are also the lowest price OEM by far for projectors I have owned and lasts 5000 hours in eco mode.

I have a bunch of 3D glasses from my old projector (Epson Cinema 2040). Any one know if the same 3D glasses will work with this projector?

Is this a better option than epson 4010?
Don't think anyone replied to you. It really depends on your uses. The 4010 has a better lens and better contrast BUT is HDMI 1.4 (problematic for future proofing/current gaming in HDR) and the replacement lamp is a tad more than 3* this one's replacement from Epson.

I was following that 100" deal and reports from buyers on AVSForum...and basically a lot of people ended up returning them.

I think we're still 2-3 years from 100" tvs being good enough and cheap enough to start replacing projector setups for ppl that are even a little picky about picture quality and not wanting to deal with buggy tvs.
