Epson PowerLite U50 Projector Review - Hardware 2

Epson PowerLite U50 Projector Review – Hardware 2: Control Panel, Remote Control, Menus

The Epson PowerLite U50 has the most simple control panel I've ever seen on a business/education projector to date. It has but a single button: On/Off. Don't lose your remote control.

The Epson PowerLite U50 uses the same remote control as every other PowerLite projector I've reviewed, and their BrightLink projectors. The remote is well laid out, easy to hold, and has a Color Mode button for quick-selecting color modes. This is one of the buttons you are most likely to use regularly, as well as the one for selecting your source, and the volume controls.

The Epson PowerLite U50 uses Epson's usual menus for their business and education projectors, which is well organized and easy to navigate.
