Epson UST Projector Menu Settings

An overview of the Epson UST Projector Menu. Find the settings you need to change.

Have you already calibrated your projector but you think there may be some settings you’d like to change? And you’re scared to play around too much because you might irrevocably change something that totally ruins your calibration?!

Well, fear not, friend, I’ve gone through the menu and played around with each one and bring you the overview in this video:

PLEASE NOTE-I’m using an Epson UST 595wi. Some menus may be slightly different, especially if your projector does not have an interactive feature or is another brand. You can always Google for your specific projector’s user manual to read about your specific projector.

Use the timestamps in the description box to find each of the different options covered:

Image Menu

  • Color Mode (can help with clarity)

  • Brightness (can help with brightly lit rooms)

  • Contrast (can help make lines more stark)

  • Sharpness (can help make lines sharper),

  • Color Temp,

  • Reset (for only the Image Menu settings)

Signal Menu

  • Aspect Ratio (can help when squares measure as rectangles)

Settings Menu

  • Keystone (can help with rectangles that look like trapezoids)

  • Quick Corner (can help with fine tuning calibration)

  • Zoom (can help make the entire projected image bigger or smaller)

  • Image Shift (can help fine tune the projected image on your mat)

  • Pointer Shape,

  • Volume,

  • Mic Input Level,

  • Remote Receiver,

  • User Button,

  • Pattern (can help line up projector and mat in the center),

  • Reset (for only the Signal Menu settings)

Extended Menu-Different for Interactive vs Non-interactive

  • Easy Interactive Function (necessary when using USB-B and wanting to use the pens)

  • Display,

  • Closed Caption,

  • User's Logo

  • Projection (used to change the orientation of the projected image-WILL ALWAYS BE LANDSCAPE but it will flip the screen in several ways)

  • USB Type B (necessary when using USB-B for display),

  • Language (for changing the display language of your projector),

  • Reset (for resetting all of the Extended Menu settings)

Network Menu-largely unhelpful for us

Eco Menu

  • Power Consumption,

  • Light Optimizer,

  • Sleep Mode,

  • Sleep Mode Timer,

  • A/V Mute Timer,

  • Standby Mode,

  • ECO Display (all can be used in various ways to control your power consumption, does affect brightness and how fast your screen turns itself off),

  • Reset (reset the Eco Menu settings)

Info Menu

  • tells you about your projector, most helpful can be the

    • Resolution (so you can make your computer match the resolution, especially for duplicated displays),

    • and Lamp Hours (to see if you may be needing to replace your lamp soon)

Reset Menu

  • allows you to Reset all settings at once

Until next time, friends!
