    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    The LTT video almost couldn't have picked a worse $2,000 product with what is out there these days. Still, it was entertaining if not leaning into a bit of the ridiculous. I wish they would call out The Hook Up, as one of the few and only channels which properly reviews multiple projectors in a price bracket at one time. What is the sweet spot? If you want 4K and a decently bright image, the STARTING point is about $1,100 for a refurbished Nexigo Trivision Ultra. It has the same type of placement issues which are found in the cheapest projectors. No zoom, fixed lens offset. But, it is properly bright, reaching the needed levels of what delivers a quality 110" to 130" diagonal image in a dark room. Not as bright as some more expensive models. At $1,500, you get several models including the Valerion Plus, the XGimi Horizon 20, and the Epson 3800. If you are DLP RBE sensitive, the Epson 3800 is the only choice really worth owning at their lowest level. You get lower color reproduction, but better placement flexibility than the DLP competition. I would only buy and recommend this is you need LCD or the lens is the only one that matches your setup. The Valerion is just well reviewed and will deliver a great looking image. The XGimi Horizon 20 is outstanding. It is one of the best values I have ever seen to this point. If someone were looking for a first projector for a home theater, then the Horizon 20 would be my first recommendation. It has excellent color space coverage and can be tweaked to be very accurate. It has top shelf contrast. It's extremely quiet. Has solid on board audio, though you should still use something better. Built in Google TV is a nice feature for some buyers as well. It has the lowest input lag of any projector at that price point right now. Better than the BenQ that was used in the LTT video. From there, you start getting little additions to different models that can be nice. The XGimi Titan Noir and the better Valerion models add more to what the cheaper models offer. Mostly in brightness. The Titan Noir adding contrast and the latest DLP chip in their products. The JMGO N3 Ultimate is right along these products. They kind of fall in that $2,000-$4,000 price range, without what I would consider, a night and day difference. The N3 Ultimate may, at the end of the day, prove to be one of the top recommendations for the next 6 months. I do not have hands on, but this model deserves it from the little I have heard. At around $2,400 you get more brightness than the $1,500 models, with excellent contrast, and incredible lens flexibility. The JVC, Epson, and Sony models tend to look very good at their $5,000+ price points, but that's no longer a sweet spot. If someone were buying with a bit more money than the XGimi Horizon 20, then I would recommend the JMGO N3 Ultimate right now. At the bottom of the line, the Optoma PH31 is the only choice. It's brighter than the cheapest LED products that are out there. $300 in the USA and available at a good price in Europe. It's 1,500 ANSI rating is more than the Nexigo PJ40 delivers, and it uses proper DLP tech instead of single LCD panel tech. It has a very simple operating system, without any smart streaming built in. This makes for a far more reliable product at the lower price point. Add a Amazon Fire TV Stick for $25, on Prime Day (today) - $16. That's an amazing overall deal.

    r/projectors · Projector upgrade idea! Please :)

    I would get the 5050UB over the LS11000. Either go to the LS12000, or stick with the 5050UB. I would not get the 3800 from Epson as it is going to be a drop in contrast (for sure) over the Sony. But, it is a decent budget friendly option. That Sony and the 45ES were my absolute favorite 1080p projectors ever produced.

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    If that was for me, then the XGimi Horizon 20 is a extremely solid entry/mid tier level 4K projector. It uses DLP pixel shifting which is sharper than what the Epson 3800/5050 models can deliver, with full 4K support and HDR. It's got a ton of lens shift that matches the Epson 3800. It uses a tri-laser light source instead of a lamp, and it has optical zoom. Not as much as the Epson, but sharp throughout the range. While the Nexigo Trivision Ultra is really well reviewed, and can be had from around $1,100 for refurbs, it does not have lens shift or zoom, but otherwise performs really well. The Valerion models at the low end still perform really well also. BenQ isn't a bad product with their TK710, which has decent quality and comes from an extremely reputable manufacturer, but the new smaller companies are just embarrassing the legacy companies with how fast new products are coming from them. Near $2,000, the JMGO N3 Ultima has zoom and lens shift and a ton of brightness which can be tweaked for more contrast or better brightness as needed. It's a beast. In a good home theater, with a budget, the JVC NZ500 is still a strong recommendation. Not sure how the XGimi Titan Noir Max compares to that, but I did prefer it to my JVC DLA-X590R.

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    You can get solid state light engine, full HDR support with dynamic iris and similar lens shift in a model which is about as bright. I'm a fan of Epson, but they have completely failed to update and upgrade their mid tier products for the last 7 years. Buying a 7 year old design when the competing products are a real step up overall wouldn't be the best thing for most people to do.

    r/projectors · Projector for challenging space

    I find that I run my projector in low power mode, even with some ambient light in the space, it is watchable, but once lights are out the image is quite good. I think the TK710 is a very top tier consideration. If going with Epson, their 3800 (TW7400? 7100? in EU) is the way I would go. Yes, it needs lamps, but lamps are cheap for it and you can pick up a few for a few hundred dollars which should last you 10+ years. The Epson offers great zoom range and lens shift which the other models don't really have and in low power mode is still bright and should be about as quiet as you are likely to find elsewhere.

    r/projectors · Advice: XGIMI Horizon S Max or XGIMI Horizon Ultra?

    If the lens to screen distance is 15', then you want a model with longer throw, and it will cost you a bit of money. Not crazy though. The Epson 3200/3800 are ideal models. You can get them refurbished in the USA for under $1,000. They have decent contrast. And with 15' from lens to screen, you can get down to a 100" diagonal... [https://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-Home\_Cinema\_3200-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-Home_Cinema_3200-projection-calculator-pro.htm) For any image smaller than that, you basically have to go to the Epson 5050UB, or a similar JVC or Sony model.

    r/projectors · Epson LS11000 - In apartment

    It is huge projector, so keep that in mind. I would get the 5050UB over the LS11000 personally for better image quality. Or go to the LS12000. If the size is just too crazy, then the 3800 from them is a really nice size and good quality. Check your throw distance as you aren't getting a huge image if the projector is too close to the screen. Make sure you understand throw distance and image size properly.

    r/projectors · Projector for 180 inch screen ?

    I expect the TK710 to be a pretty major player in the next year or two from BenQ. Initial reviews are strong from TheHookUp on YouTube, who is a trusted reviewer. I expect follow up reviews will remain strong for this product. I like the 3200/3800 models from Epson, but they are getting very old at this point. Still, it is a good looking model with a very flexible lens, which is nice. I'd probably go with the TK710 if budget allowed for it.

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    Epson routinely has the 3800 on their website as company-refurbished for pretty decent discounts, comes with the full Epson warranty. I got mine for $1300 using this program 2 years ago and it has been *outstanding* for watching over 600 hours of movies since then. I'm using it in a dedicated, light-controlled home theater with a 5.1.2 Atmos sound system and a 120" screen, and I can't imagine getting much more bang for my buck.

    r/projectors · What would be the best 4k projector for under $4000 for this room?

    LOL this room is almost identical to the room I set up my theater in, even has the air duct on the left. I bought a factory-refurbished Epson 3800 from [Epson.com](http://Epson.com) and ceiling-mounted it, it has been FANTASTIC. I have a 120" 1.1 screen and am using a Samsung 990D soundbar/surround while I piece together a 7.1.2 system. My setup: [https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/1iyeeeg/comment/mew2c0f/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/1iyeeeg/comment/mew2c0f/?context=3) Is the room 100% light controlled? Some quick observations based on setting up basically the identical room. (Mine is 14 feet by 22 feet) My setup: \- I think you could easily do a 120" or maybe even a 125" screen. \-You will 100% want sound deadening on those walls. \- If you have the option, a carpeted raised back row would be awesome. My handyman build the entire thing for $700 including materials. Good luck with whatever you pick!

    Sure,its true! They are not NATIVE 4K but True 4K = all 8,3 Million PIxel of 4K on the Screen via 4x Pixelshifting! The 5050UB is missing 2 Million Pixel because its only a 3x Pixelshifter! HC3800 is missing 4 Million Pixel because its only a 2x Pixelshifter!

    r/projectors · Help choosing between Valerion or Epson

    Hey I just want to say I own a Epson 5050ub it's hands down the best projector under 4000 dollars I say that because I tried to different models and the 5050 UB crush them all including the Valerian it was the step down model from the flagship . There's something that all Epson projectors have it the contrast yes all models have different numbers but for me there's no comparison if you want a TV looking projector or one that looks like a movie theater the Valerian does not look like a movie theater it looks like a run of the mill led TV . And lastly the color bleed and the crap performance of the dreaded 24 fps it's very poor in my eyes on the Valerian banding and blocking on the 24 and red laser color bleed on all edges of black . I just couldn't recommend the Valerian since I love my Epson and have had a 3800 as well have seen some other models and they look great .

    r/projectors · Opinions on Epson 2350

    I’ve seen the 3200 under $1k. But at $800 it’s a solid reasonable choice. Most people would look at a 2350 and think damn that looks good. I’m interested to see the new little xgimi projector that’s out soon. 4k, under $1000, 1600 lumens. Personally I’d save up and get a deal on the 3800 for $1300 but if $800 is the limit you’ll like the 2350.

    r/hometheater · OLED vs 4K Projector

    Both have their merits. Perhaps try seeing it in person to see what you like more. Hit up the best buy or similar aisles to look at the OLEDs then see if any local AV shops have a showroom and projector setup or if you have a buddy that has one. I don't think you would regret the OLED as it will look great, be easy to setup, no maintenance, easy to put in any space should you move, and live long. We have both in our house but my partner and I prefer and use the projector the most. Just feels more grand, immersive, more screen for price, and gets the wow factor from friends/family. The biggest factor for me though is because makes use of reflected light instead of emitting light which is much easier on my eyes after our long hours of use since I'm already staring at screens all day between my job and phone. I'm using an Epson Home Cinema 3800 that I got back in 2023 and love it but that's because I prefer having the option to replace the bulb and the ability to repair it like my Optoma HD26 which is going 11 years strong. Lasers will give you a brighter and more accurate image and I understand they have a 14+ year life expectancy but I'm a worry wart that doesn't trust build quality from manufacturers these days. If the laser gives out after the warranty has already ended you got a paperweight since they are integrated and not replaceable. More models have released over the last several years so I'm sure some others here can suggest some reliable options.

    r/projectors · Grey or white screen with 3000LUMENS 150"

    I have an Epson 3800 with 3000 rated lumens and Elite screens white 1.1 gain. With the Epson on high output - it is just acceptable brightness. I would definitely get a 1.3 gain white screen for that projector. I am currently planning on upgrading my current ten year gear to an Epson QB1000 (3300 lumen) and a 165” Stewart Filmscreen 1.3 gain. Nothing beats the immersion of going big!!

    r/projectors · Epson 5050UB - Potential Buyer’s Remorse

    The 5050, 11000, and 12000 will not be bright enough for a 165”1.1 gain screen. I tried them all in dynamic mode. Ultimately went with the Epson 3800. Much brighter and beautiful picture. A large screen requires exponentially more lumens for the increase in area. I have a blacked out basement with zero ambient light. If 120” or smaller I would go with the 12000. Good luck

    r/projectors · Epson LS12000 vs 3800

    I also went from a 3800 to a ls12000. Ultimately, returned the 12000 and went back to the 3800. The 12000 definitely had a sharper picture , but both my wife and I missed the extra lumens the 3800 gave us on our 150” 16x9 1.1 gain screen. I was shocked I could not get the 12000 bright enough even in dynamic mode 100%. The ls 12000 actually gave us headaches because it wasn’t bright enough. May upgrade screen to 1.4 gain and go 165” and maybe try the 12000 again. Still very satisfied with the 3800. Also, enjoying the extra $5K in my account. Definitely a quality improvement I am guessing on any screen 120” or smaller. Can’t see where the quality improvement comes even close to justifying the price difference The optoma 4400 pro looks interesting. Dual laser, 5000 lumens, and dolby vision capable- no in depth hands on reviews yet

    Tough to say without knowing the exact conditions, but if it's going to be outdoors, than maybe fan noise and contrast won't be as much of a concern, so the 3800 could be a better choice.

    r/projectors · Best bang for buck 4k projector over 3000lm, 120" at 12'?

    I just picked up a 3800 for $1600cdn on sale. I'm about 13 ft away, 120" screen. Looks awesome to me. Just remember there are all pixel shift 4k. I think you gotta go upwards of $5k or $6k for true 4k if I remember correctly. However, I came from a 10 year old DELL 1080p 60hz.... And this (Epson 3800) looks amazing to me.

    r/projectors · Best bang for buck 4k projector over 3000lm, 120" at 12'?

    I think the BenQ TK710 (not the older 700 series) is probably your best choice. The Epson 3800 would be a good alternative if you need more lens shift and don’t mind a lamp and softer image. The BenQ X3100i comes highly recommended. I reviewed the prior X3000i a few years back. It’s a great projector and the only one of these three that will give you some extra color gamut support for HDR. I really like the 4LED light engine for its vibrant colors. However it IS a bit pricier and I’m afraid the contrast isn’t as good as the two above. Fine for big screen gaming but maybe a bit less satisfying while watching movies.

    r/projectors · Budget projector or big screen tv (few models in mind)

    In my experience of always wanting a man cave with large screen, the difference from watching the typical 65" TV is massive when you go 100" or more, but since your considering 100" TV or probably 110" screen it's a more difficult conundrum. In my situation the best layout for the room has a window in the wall so a large TV is not an option and unfortunately so is a fixed screen. I am however really pleased with the Epson 3800. At least you already have a sound system as many folk considering a projector hadn't thought of that and the AVR gives you the HDMI connectivity options ( like TV's have). The TV is always gonna win in a room without sufficient light control, whilst getting the best blacks out of PJ really does lend itself to a " no lights on" and darkly decorated room. In daily use, the TV will likely last longer ( well, longer than a PJ lamp anyway). I think I've lent towards a TV there ( it just doesn't suit my situation). Enjoy.

    r/projectors · Help me decide - LG CineBeam HU810PW or Epson Home Cinema LS11000

    Do not get the lg810. I had that and could not get it to look good or calibrate properly no matter how hard I tried. Probably one of the most frustrating display devices I have ever had. It is so close to being great but let down by poor colour in hdr, hdr/sdr colour handling in general, red laser speckle,poor native contrast gives a very flat image and the .47” dmd had a stuck pixel just after a year. The optics weren’t very good either. The Epson will best the 810 in every meaningful way. I ended up returning the 810 (warranty) and “downgraded” to an Epson 3800 for a few years until laser gets fully sorted out. Turns out the 3800 is an absolute banger of a pj. Can’t believe how good this thing is once dialed in. The colour is a wee bit heavy handed but superbly accurate, motion and contrast are good, just an all around very enjoyable picture, especially for the price. The ls1100 should be fantastic but think it has a bit of elevated black levels vs similar bulb based epsons (5050)

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    The HT2060 launched at around $1,200 and is definitely on the lower end of the range I mentioned. I was speaking more broadly about the overall mid-range segment where image quality and usability start to improve significantly, rather than setting a strict $1,500 floor. The TK710/TK710STi and 3800 are probably better examples for that specific price bracket.

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    For me, the sweet spot is probably around the $1,500–2,500 range. That's where models like the BenQ TK710/TK710STi, HT2060, and Epson 3800 start showing up. You get noticeably better image quality, brightness, gaming performance, and overall usability without entering the "diminishing returns" territory. Going above $3,000 definitely brings nice features, but the jump doesn't always feel as dramatic as going from a $500 projector to a good mid-range one.

    r/projectors · What price range is the real sweet spot for home projectors in 2026?

    I've had my 3800 for about 4 years and absolutely loved it when I bought it, but as of late I was getting less satisfied with it's picture. Ended up joining the xgimi noir kickstarter but then decided it would probably be a good idea to change the bulb before I sell it. Boom, picture was instantly back to being absolutely beautiful and I learned a very important lesson about bulb life. I'm still going to go through with the KS because of a few nagging issues (3800 throw isn't quite good enough to fill my screen in the space, quick keystoning causes a bit of distortion/focus issues) but if I had changed the bulb on time I never would have even considered it.

    r/hometheater · Tried upgrading my theater setup and made everything worse, I'm stuck and I don't know what compromise to go with.

    Tbh yes, they would be better. I love projectors but if you're limited to 100" and/or $1500 that's probably your best bet. Epson HC3800 would be pretty sweet in that range for projectors, great for movies but probably couldn't keep up with black levels and brightness unless you want to double your budget but if you're limited to 100" it's kind of pointless.

    r/projectors · Projectors that can push 2.35:1 content to the bottom of a 16:9 screen?

    The soft focus issues kept me away from the 3800 for years. Until a fellow redditor reached out to share his own experience. I am in a fully light controlled basement. Ceiling mount. Dead center of frame image projected. I AM using a little under half the lens shift downward and my focus is 100% sharp across the entire screen and all 4 corners. Perfect. I think because the 3800 has so much shift both vertical and horizontal that people were putting them in extreme positions and expected the projector to be a problem solver..... I purchased brand new on a $100 off sale March of this year. 0 regret.

    r/projectors · Epson 5050ub vs Hisense C2 Pro

    I got a 5050UB on-sale from B&H for $2700 a few weeks ago, upgraded from the 3800. The picture quality, color, and contrast is phenomenal. Focus uniformity is also perfect, unlike the 3800. It is a big unit, but the optics quality and range of lens shift are top notch. The projector is bright enough, even in eco mode for my light controlled room. I just can't get over the form factors of lifestyle projectors and prefer the permanent mounting style, at least for my dedicated room. It's easy to fall down a spec rabbit hole, but I think it comes down to how it looks on the screen. I haven't noticed any prohibitive lag from a gaming perspective, I believe the input lag was measured at \~20ms.

    r/projectors · Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 washed out colors

    Did you test with sdr? Epson 3800 iirc has iris so should get higher contrast. Advantage of laser projector is color coverage for bt2020 and laser dimming without subtitles - so in dark scenes the laser can dim to have even better black floor. If you watch non dark content with subtitles then just keep the epson. Also, contrast ratio is affected by zoom level - try the same throw ratio on the others to match the epson. Maximum throw gives higher contrast, so your valerion at its biggest picture vs smallest picture will have like 40% contrast difference. Smaller picture has better pq, so you need to put the projector further back.

    r/budgetprojectors · Epson 3800? C2 ultra? Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro? Help buying my first projector with a $2k budget.

    The Epson 3800 only covers about 57% of 2020 color space; the Horizon 20 MAX (and assume other models) cover 97%. You are saying their tone mapping is terrible, because they have a lot more color to work with? If using MADVR - color fidelity argument should not matter, right? The Horizon 20 Pro and Base have less brightness in their "usable modes" than Epson 3800: Rtings rates the 20 MAX at 2687 lumens, Epson 3800 at 2334 lumens. Scale RTINGS figures to The Hook Up's measurements on all 3 - the Pro has 2034 Movie/ 2270 STD + boost; Base not worth mentioning. Horizon has other slightly better static contrast, and the aforementioned color advantage - but DLP and some dynamic contrast pulsing issues (post firmware update). Regardless - the Horizon 20 Max's Brightness figure of 5700 is measured at 5165 - but is green and unwatchable. It is the only model with brightness levels above the Epson 3800 in an actual "usable" mode. If anyone finds scaling based on RTINGSs figures (they didnt measure the Pro or Base; I didn't see the Hook Up measure Epson) - then the Hook Up measured Horizon 20 Pro at 2261 lumens Movie Mode; 2736 lumens on STD mode + boost; these are not calibrated but out of the box. I was about to buy a Horizon 20 because I had the same impressions about brightness, but figured I'd share my research for anyone else in the same boat.

    r/hometheater · Beamer Empfehlung

    >Connection: doesn't really matter (HDMI, USB, wireless, etc.) But yes the connection does matter. USB and Wireless aren't valid connection mediums for use for gaming and movies and such. HDMI is the only route to go here. > Price range: ideally no more than €1000-1500 🥲 It should be connectable to a sound system, which we don't have yet.  Epson Home Cinema 3800 or the 5050UB, I'd be leaning towards the 5050UB if you can find one in your budget. Optoma GT2000HDR or the UHD38x

    r/budgetprojectors · Epson 3800? C2 ultra? Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro? Help buying my first projector with a $2k budget.

    Because you said the space is open and used for other stuff, pick a laser projector with higher lumen output — the XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro (or Max if budget allows) will give you a brighter, lower-maintenance image that’s easier to live with in a non-dedicated theater. If you later build a blackout enclosure and want the “true cinema” look in absolute darkness, the Epson 3800 would be a fine alternative, but in an open basement the brightness and laser longevity of the Horizon line are very practical advantages.

    r/budgetprojectors · Epson 3800? C2 ultra? Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro? Help buying my first projector with a $2k budget.

    If you have a dedicated home theater room, can control ambient light (dark curtains/blinds), prioritize color fidelity, and want a proven home cinema projector: go with the Epson Home Cinema 3800. If you have a living-room or multi-purpose space, want gaming + streaming + a more “all-in” smart experience, and you’re okay paying for more brightness/flexibility: the XGIMI Horizon 20 (or a higher variant like Pro/Max) is appealing.

    r/projectors · Best 4k under $1000

    HDR is the wild card here. You will need to find unbiased reviews. And, frankly, when I had the 3800, even though it would accept an HDR signal, I actually preferred to set my Apple TV to output SDR. Plenty punchy and the ATV had better processing than any projector I have seen under $5k (so having it convert to SDR instead of letting the projector tone map HDR worked really well). But yes, do the math on projector size and required throw distance. ProjetorCentral can a great calculator for this. Either projector you mention will be a big step up in terms of brightness, which is sure to be pleasing and help with whatever HDR option you choose (whether you let the projector tone map it or have the source device set to SDR).

    r/projectors · Best 4k under $1000

    "step up my projector game a bit" What do you have at present and what do you dislike about it? People can recommend their pet favorites all day long, but (FOR EXAMPLE) if they are valuing automatic keystone adjustment and what you need is more lumens because of your screen size, their recommendations are not worth much for you. I'm still a fan of the Epson 3800. Yes, it's a lamp based projector and yes it is technically 1080p. But it is very bright, can accept UHD input IIRC, has no rainbow artifacts like so many DLP projectors, new lamps cost about $100 each, and it can be found for under $1k on the second hand market in the US. But if you require 1-1 pixels and automated keystone correction and a shorter throw, then all those advantages of the 3800 don't mean anything to you ;)

    r/projectors · Need advice on which projector to get - Bedroom set up, ~12' throw, 100in image size, mostly for movies & sports viewing, sometimes in daylight

    From roughly 12 ft, an Epson Home Cinema 3800 nails a 100‑inch picture and still looks solid with a lamp on Eco; if you can stretch your budget, the 5050UB gives deeper blacks, better HDR, and a motorised zoom. You could add a mid‑grey 1.0‑gain screen if daylight sometimes leaks in too. That should fix most of your issues. Too bad about the Valerion though; that's a solid unit.

    r/projectors · Epson LS11000 vs HC3800

    The 3800 shouldn’t be any brighter than the LS12000. If it is something is wrong. Also the 3800 being lamp will be way dimmer soon due to bulb wear especially running it in the highest power mode.

    r/projectors · Viewsonic px749-4k vs Benq tk710-4k vs w2720i

    Well, I just spent 30 minutes at Projector Central. I was seeing which projectors fell within my 16-foot throw distance. I really do not want the projector above our heads or in our peripheral vision. Furthermore, I came to the conclusion that I will have to compromise either budget or expectations. I will settle for the Epson HC3800. The LS12000 and the Sony VPL-XW5000ES would fit, but they are way over budget. The x3100i and the w2720i are both falling at the 12.6 foot range. This puts them over our heads.

    r/projectors · Best bang for buck 4k projector over 3000lm, 120" at 12'?

    Everyone's giving some great recommendations, and your comment describing the differences is \*super\* helpful. The 4LED engine is really why the X3000i made it on this list in the first place. I've had a bit of trouble finding good contrast specs on a lot of projectors, and have never been sure how much of a difference I'd notice. I originally had the Epson 3800 on my list, but the lack of true 4k compared to the others pushed it back down the list. I've got a ceiling fan above and primary walkway below in the way of using anything short throw, so I think the X500i is out - though it looks pretty good otherwise. My only hesitation on the TK710 has been my failure to find a refurbished unit for sale somewhere. Thanks a lot! I'd welcome more suggestions and comments, and in the meantime I'll start looking for a good deal on the TK710! :)

    r/projectors · Projector for 180 inch screen ?

    I'm going to go for the tk710 I think but I'm still hesitant because of the lack of reviews. I wonder if the difference between DLP and 3LCD is big for the Epson 3800 because it is more expensive in my store

L’Epson 3800 convient-il à une pièce éclairée ?

Le consensus Reddit souligne sa très forte luminosité, y compris en mode Eco et sur de grandes diagonales. Un bon contrôle de la lumière reste toutefois recommandé pour obtenir des noirs convaincants et profiter pleinement des films sombres.

L’Epson 3800 est-il adapté au jeu vidéo ?

Les retours Reddit décrivent une expérience immersive et réactive, sans retard perceptible pour les utilisateurs concernés. Il est ainsi régulièrement jugé très satisfaisant pour le jeu sur grand écran.

L’installation de l’Epson 3800 est-elle facile ?

Les utilisateurs Reddit apprécient sa grande amplitude de zoom et de décalage optique, utiles sur une étagère ou au plafond. Son format, sa focale standard et l’absence de correction automatique avancée peuvent néanmoins compliquer les petites pièces ou les plafonds très bas.
