Review: Replaced my Epson 3700 to go 4K. Was it worth it? Absolutely! - 5-year update! It's hard to believe that it has been 5 years since I purchased this projector. It is still running fantastic, and I've had no issues at all. One great feature I did not include in my original review is the 4K enhancement feature for 1080 material. Rather than upscaling the image, it uses the pixel shift feature to essentially eliminate screen door effect for any 1080 material. Since my day-to-day viewing is still at that resolution (including my Blu-Ray's), and since I sit so close to my 150" screen, it provides tremendous picture improvement over my original Epson 3700 projector. Even if you don't watch a lot of 4K yet, that feature alone would justify upgrading. I really do consider the 3800 as close to perfect for my setup as I could have hoped for. My original review is unchanged and included below... ------------- I purchased an Epson 3700 in 2016 and I have been very happy with it. I have a 150" wall screen in my great room with plenty of ambient light have had no issues. I use it for sports, news, movies, and 3d (the surprise impressive feature, I now own 100+ 3d movies). I've been reluctant to make the jump to 4K because let's face it... 1. It's a lot of work to update all of your components to 4K. 2. True 4K projectors are really expensive. 3. Most true 4K projectors are not yet bright enough for my ambient light filled great room. 4. Most material is 720P or 1080i, and that would need to be upscaled to 4K, so depending on how good a job the upscaler does I may or may not get good results for the majority of my material. 5. I have a lot of 3d now and that is all 1080P, so same issue as #4 (and I need to make sure I have 3d support in any new projector). When I saw Epson's new entry in the market I was intrigued. It is basically identical to my 3700 (same size, lens, bulb, etc.) and supports all the previous features (3d, etc.) and they added the 4K/HDR support using pixel shifting (i.e. converting each 4K pixel into two 2K frames played rapidly and shifted) rather than using a native 4K panel. In my mind this is an excellent compromise that solves a lot of the above issues for me. The price is about the same as the previous model, it is still a native 1080p projector (so no upscaling issues for most material or for 3d), and it is just as bright as before. The real question is how good is 4K using pixel shifting? Most side by side reviews conclude human beings really can't tell the difference. During these covid times I've been working from home so I decided that this and other home upgrades were in order. Last month I upgraded the AV Receiver and Blu-Ray Player. This week I ran a new 8K HDMI cable through the ceiling, installed a new mount, and replaced the 3700 with the 3800. So if you own a 3700 can 4K alone justify the upgrade? Well in my case I have a 150" screen and I only sit 10-15' away so 4K should make a noticeable difference in my viewing experience. To test I used both desertcart Prime 4K material and UHD Blu-Ray material. On desertcart Prime search for "4K demo" for a list of excellent material. I used the IMAX movie "The Living Sea", which desertcart has in 4K UHD/HDR. I used the Blu-Ray players 4K desertcart Prime app to freeze test frames and then switched sources to my 1080P FireTV stick freezing the same frames. The best test frame was one of a sunrise just coming over the horizon lighting the ocean below, clouds above, and silhouetting a mountain range. The comparison of the 2 was night and day. the 4K had fine detail in the mountain range, ocean and clouds not present in the 1080p version, and the HDR bought out highlights in the clouds and water that were completely washed out in the non HDR 1080p version. I got similar excellent results with "The Last Reef" using both Blu-Ray an UHD HDR material. So the answer for me is YES! It looks like 4K to me and on a large screen you really can tell the difference. The pictures I included show how much light I have in the room during the day, and then 2 pictures of a really zoomed in section of a freeze frame the movie I referenced above "The Living Sea". It is the sun rising above the ocean. One of the pictures is 1080P and the other is 4K. It's pretty easy to tell which is which. If you look closely you can see the pixel structure in the 1080P picture, but it is barely noticeable in the 4K picture. Update: As some have commented on inability to focus across the entire screen. I had to work on the projector position a bit as I had a similar experience, but after I pointed the projector "slightly up" (still no keystoning), and used lens shift to bring the image down I was able to get a completely uniform focus at all sections of the screen. I added a picture of the Panel Alignment pattern to show it is sharp on all locations of the screen (the missing lines are due to my black velvet screen masking). Maybe I got lucky with mine but I've had no issues with focus or blurring after adjusting. Very happy with my purchase of the 3800!
Review: Arrived brand new with scratch on lens, but picture and everything else is Beautiful. - At First, I will be honest, after reading a lot of reviews and having this show up brand new with 2 small pits and a scratch on a brand new lens with a premium price, I was a bit ...concerned. HOWEVER, I set it up anyway, (after using a new lens cloth I use for photography to wipe what I thought at first was maybe a small streak of oil or something from the manufacturing process). -I'mean, it comes with a lens cap. O_o? How in the name of all that is holy or monstrous can you not perhaps be gentle with optics during assembly or handling or Even QC and not notice a pretty decent scratch on a brand new UHD projector's MAIN OUTPUT METHOD.? Ugh.. But, with all that said, I turned it on and tried to find any aberrations with the picture using various methods and all I got was delicious eye candy. And, as this projector gives you 3 settings of brightness, after switching to the already quiet, stock Medium setting to ECO, it was downright silent. ( Projector was set up -just- behind my head as well for testing purposes ). It is a Very bright, crisp and silent projector. The very first day I had it on and was focusing it, I did notice once the center was in perfect clear focus, the right bottom side of the screen was just slightly not. But, having used the Epson 9200 Pro and loving that for nearly 5 years, I gave this new beast a try. Somehow, after 4 hours of use on the first day, the second day I had a hard time trying to find the once 'a little softer' parts of the screen. * I have Zero Idea if "burn-in" applies to projectors of this sort with the sensor or other elements, but the slightly 'softer' right bottom side cleared up and all I got was an extremely beautiful and engaging 4K picture with wonderful contrast and an extremely quiet and quick auto iris for even deeper blacks. ~Joy~ I ran through a bunch of basic tests using both video and Xbox One X games and just got lost in the detail and rendering of what the console and Projector are capable of. It is, for sure, a treat for the eyes. Current screen is matte white, 100" at about 11ft (in a light controlled room), but zoomed as large as it could go just to check pixels and it was still crisp and clear and looked like a 100" , 200LB 4K led display. . . but this you can throw in a large backpack and not hire a crew to move it. ~ Also Joy ~ SO, in short, I have no regrets purchasing this and am still sort of in awe of the overall quality upgrade. I'm still a bit unsure about the process of 'out-the-door QC' at that particular plant, but truth be told, ~ Unlike a camera lens Receiving light Into it, perhaps shooting light Out of a lens at a distance of 10 - 15+ ft onto a screen/wall is a completely different animal. And perhaps Epson knows this. (?) Thankfully, and weirdly, it does not effect picture. No idea why. But, I do start my new job as a Rocket Surgeon soon so maybe will have some answers then. I have no plans to return it as it otherwise works flawlessly so far. So even with the slight blemish, she's a keeper ;)

**Q: Is it 110-220 volt power supply ?**
A: Hi hishama.d. hamdan,

Yes. The Epson Home Cinema 3800 supports 100 to 240 VAC. If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country. 

Hope this helps!

**Q: Are the 3d glasses supposed to be rf for this model or dlp?**
A: RF.  I'm using XPAND X105-RF-X1 Rechargeable 3D RF/Bluetooth Glasses that I bought on Amazon.  Epson shows its own glasses on its website but it hasn't been available when I've checked.  But mine work just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very satisfied. Quiet, bright and clear.
*by R***B on March 9, 2026*

Color depth, brightness, clarity and sound level are all great. We tried one of the new 83" OLED TV's but the extreme contrast and projected light was too hard on our eyes. Must prefer viewing the reflected light from a projector. This projector has such good brightness that we are able to run it on ECO mode with the room lights on and still get an outstanding 100" picture. Projector is very quiet in ECO mode :-) Caveat.. If you enable "Dynamic" mode, the fan speed will increase and get much louder. The good news is that "Natural" or "Cinema" modes are the best looking, and quiet.
