They did say 2"" display. I just didn't think much about it. Should have.

I rated it 5 stars 'cause it's everything they said. It's not their fault the BIG display causes a distraction if it's near the ""line of sight"" to a TV, window, whatever.

I had it on a shelf, about 4 feet above the tv. I moved it..the clock. The blinking light draws your eye to the movement as does the very large display.

Be great in the sleeping area since your eyes are usually closed. And, if half groggy you'd have no problem seeing the time.

But, consider the placement of this clock. I didn't get it for the sleep area but will use it there and get another clock for the Mantle. One not quite so large, blinky and bright.

This clock has nice features and I do not regret my purchase. Taking into consideration it's placement, I could recommend this clock for purchase.

This has a large display and is therefore easy to see even with the unaided eye. I don't need the clock as an alarm so I can't rate that function. Also, I don't know if the DST feature works since no DST date has passed yet. But if you want an easy to use and easy to see clock, this is it. I just ordered two more.
A peek at the instructions tells how to set the time manually if you so wish, and also how to change the batteries. Instructions are wonderful things.
This is not to be confused with an ""atomic clock"". There are no radio signals and the clock operates on house current with battery backup and resets itself after a power interruption. (Posted on 6/15/12)

I received two of these from Amazon.com today. Had no trouble by following the good instructions. If the clock will just last I will be "a happy camper" !

The time the clock sets itself to is actually about 8-10 minutes fast. If you set it manually it works OK. I got the clock for my mother, who is legally blind but can sometimes make out the display, which she can't do with any other clock I have found. (Posted on 11/2/11)
