Our Verdict
Epson Home Cinema 3800
BenQ X3000i
The BenQ X3000i has more features than the Epson Home Cinema 3800, but the Epson is slightly better for watching movies due to being brighter and having better contrast than the BenQ. The Epson is barebones regarding features, as it doesn't come with Wi-Fi or a smart interface, while the BenQ comes with an Android TV 10 dongle for smart apps, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support. It's also better for gaming with full 1080p @ 240Hz support.
