Epson - PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 1080p 3LCD Projector (V11H373120)

Your model looks similar to the old 8350 in the USA which was a well regarded model. The most direct replacement is the Epson 5050. Unfortunately, that uses a lamp instead of a laser for the light source, which is well out of date at this point. Sticking with LCD, these are the models which are laser light sources and are decent replacements for what you have... [https://www.projectorcentral.com/projectors.cfm?g=2&br=1500&br=4000&ar=16%3A9<g=101&mfg=Epson&oop=1#list](https://www.projectorcentral.com/projectors.cfm?g=2&br=1500&br=4000&ar=16%3A9<g=101&mfg=Epson&oop=1#list) The LS series (LS9000, 11000, 12000) are the most direct replacements to what you've been using. The fact they list 3840x2160 as a resolution is kind of meaningless as they are really 1080p models, and will accept 1080p just fine. They use pixel shifting to 'increase' the resolution, but work great with 1080p. At this point, getting the same lens quality of any projector which is similar to the TW5000, it will absolutely support 4K resolution as well. Not sure how you respond to DLP projectors. Like Valerion or XGimi, but the Valerion models and XGimi Horizon 20 models are a decent consideration as well at this time. I'd probably get a Horizon 20 Max if I were buying today. Be aware that your throw distance is likely going to require the projector to be mounted in a new location unless you go with one of the LS series models from Epson. You can double check this on the Projector Central website. Measure your screen size (diagonal) and your throw distance (screen to lens) and that is what you need to achieve in the lens of whatever you buy, which may be outside the range of what other models can deliver.

Own 2 of the 8100 epson its the same exact as 8350 except contrast at 36000. It is a nice reliable projector bulbs are 130ish to replace and the one that's running indoors has like 2800hrs on it and I can still see it fine with curtains open or bedroom lights on. At 100.00 that's cheaper then any on ebay plus you get to look at it before buying. Get it and if you don't like it will sell

That's what I hate about my location. Im in the middle of delaware and can't find anything from the major brands by me at a price that they don't care about because they upgraded or never use it. They are asking almost full price for no name amazon projectors that are past their maybe get a year life out of it phase and asking 400 or 500 for a old epson non 1080 classroom projector. Best deal I see is for the panosonic laser one that is on here alot but its at 50percent life and 400.00one last thing. Most of the epson 8100 or 8350 I see o. Ebay look like they were in storage forever with dust on intake or scratched up so 100 and if it looks clean. Plug it in use pho e decimal reader should be around 30 on normal mode

Well, I love my 8350 but since I’ve had it for damned near 15 years it’s definitely not as bright as it once was (even with lamp replacements) so take brightness with a grain of salt. Still, that’s a steal for that price.

Epson Home Cinema 8350

I think you have the right instincts here A 4k projector will do the trick. Heck I have a 1080p Epson I picked up open box and a denon avr that can do 7.1. No atmos. And it sounds and looks amazing So nowadays an atmos capable receiver and 4k projector ( even just led ). Will look and sound amazing Just need a few small extra back speakers if and when you decide to use all the extra channels

I don’t have a 4k tv even. I will probably get one soon But I am really impressed with how good even an 1080p Epson can project at 110” image that is totally cinematic So I think any 4 k Epson will be totally good I feed it an Apple TV I have a marantz cinema 70 which is their lowest powered one and use an extra 2 channel amp I have to power fronts. That room looks pretty big so I would go with something cinema 50 and still have the option to add extra power later.

Yes it is. Got mine open box in 500$. For anime it's a no brainer.

For $800 you’re looking at 1080p not even pixel shift. You’ll have to do the math on throw distance but an Epson 1080 or Benq 585 are decent machines

Lots of decent options. The Benq 2150 will look best but an Epson 1080 or 90 will have more pop but less refinement. Could be good for your use. It’s less bright and not requested 4k but the xgimi horizon pro would fit some people’s setups in that budget.

I have the Epson 880 and 1080.  They're both fantastic projector and some of the best values you can possibly get, especially in the 200 - $250 range, which is phenomenal value.  1060 is, as I understand it, similar to between the 880 and 1080 so I would absolutely recommend it.

For $1000 or less you’re either getting the cheapest lamp based 4K unit or a pretty nice 1080p model and solid state (laser or LED) is probably on the table. My no. 1 recommendation for a $1000 model USED to be the BenQ HT2060. I say used to because the price has gone up since this tariff insanity. Assuming you can catch a sale or deal on a refurb the HT2060 would still be my top pick. The reason: image quality. It produces a bright, crisp, colorful image with one of the highest native contrast ratios of any projector under $5,000 (my $3000 4K projector produces around half the native contrast). It’s 4LED so no bulbs to replace. 1080p/120Hz with 8-16ms of input latency and instantaneous pixel response which makes it perfect for even competitive gaming. The only negatives if you can call them negatives is it’s not a portable or ‘lifestyle’ projector so it doesn’t have built in streaming or a gimmicky gimbal mount. It’s an honest-to-goodness home theater projector with optical zoom and lens shift. Though it does have pretty good built in sound if you’re into that. I would recommend the H2060 for screen sizes of 90-120”. Any larger and you might want a brighter projector which at this price probably means going bulb. The BenQ TH575 or Epson 1080 are good alternatives. Neither will have the contrast nor will either be as colorful as the 2060 but you’ll get more output to push a larger screen or compete with more ambient light. The Epson in particular lacks the sharpness of the DLPs but is a certified light canon cable of driving enormous screens. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/benq-ht2060-4led-hdr-home-theater-gaming-projector-review-and-owners-thread.3270380/
