Spend a little more and be a lot happier... Oct 10, 2008 I guess I didn't read the description of this clock very well. Its clock is hard to read at an angle. If displays the current temperature in your house. The projection is rather weak. It looks like cheap junk.
Overall, I don't care about the temp within my house, that is why I have a thermostat. Yes, there will be hot and cold spots in my home and I will be curious about them, but not enough to increase my whole utility bill to fix them, nor will I buy a clock to tell me for the next few years that the cold/hot spot I feel is indeed different from the rest of the house. So showing me that as the sole temp is just silly. If it told me the temp of the outside AND the inside ok, or JUST the outside great, but not what it does.
Also, the display is rather weak. I wanted the time displayed on my ceiling as it's easier to see the time while I lay awake at night worrying about the economy and how much money I am losing in my 401k. However, if I leave basic appliance lights on (DVD, VCR, cable box) it washes out the display making it hard to read. I don't want to have to make sure the DVD player is set to its lowest level of display so that it isn't overly bright and I can see my display on the ceiling!
And of course it just looks cheap. But with all that being said, the temp is rather accurate, the time is obviously accurate, and the projection display [finally] does its job given the right set of conditions and room conditions.
Atomic Projection Alarm Clock May 13, 2007 This product is wonderful. We have purchased three in the last year. One for each room.

Once set works as advertised Mar 25, 2007 I like this clock. This is a night stand alarm clock. And it does what it is supposed to do very well once it is set up.
The set up is not intuitive so you HAVE to read the manual and do exactly as it says. But it is not really hard to set up it's just not easy. You have to think about what you are doing. By the way the manual is large as another reviewer commented but it's because the instructions are in several languages not because it's so complicated.
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is that the plug which the AC adapter plugs into, which allows it to project the time continually, has too much space on either side. The result is that you THINK the AC adapter is plugged up properly when in fact the adapter has gone down on either side of the plug. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. At first I thought the clock was defective as some of the other reviewers did. That's a bad design flaw that needs to be fixed.
FYI it doesn't project the time continually in battery mode because that would quickly drain the batteries. In battery mode it only projects the time for about 3 or 4 seconds when you press the snooze button.
Once the clock is set up for your time zone you never have to set the time again, not even for daylight savings time, and you always have the correct time. The clock has a built in antenna that picks up the radio signal from the official U. S. government time keeper. Once a day it sets itself according to that radio signal. It also has sensors that tell you the indoor humidity and temperature.

Waste of money Jan 18, 2007 I am sorry I bought this thing. It's way too complicated to set up, and yes, I read the instructions...they only added to my frustration. I would not recommend this product at all and will think 3 times before purchasing anything else from this manufacturer.

I'm sure it's exactly this time some where in the world Jan 11, 2007 After the 2 of us read the entire (English) instruction book carefully and step-by-step set the clock for Pacific Standard Time, it repeatedly re-set itself three hours off in the AM and four hours off in the PM.
