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 🤣)

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 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'm sensitive to the fan and actuator noise, which is why I tried the 3200 based on the reviews, and it was indeed pleasantly quiet. The chassis is pretty large which helps with that.

I'm in the process of returning my 3800, the focus uniformity is terrible. I can get the center focused with blurry edges, sharp edges but blurry center, or mildly blurry all over. If you just watch shows and movies it's fine, but the focus is very noticeable on text in games and menus.

How is this compared to Paris Rhone, if anyone has that one? I was about to buy that and I saw this deal.

I got this with 1000h lamp, feels like it's dimmer now but not 100% sure. Debating should I replace the lamp now.

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've been using this for 3 years, and it's an excellent projector at this price.

Co-sign this. Excellent picture, but I hastily installed the ceiling mount and it ended up at the end of the lens shift capacity and a portion of the image is blurry. No one else sees it in the house but it PISSES me off. But not enough to take it down and mode the mount lol.
