We have the clock for a month. The alarm we do not use. Display is quite good as long as you do not look too steep of up or down. Operation is so reasonably, but we also need only once. The information broadcast in the kitchen was good, the dining room hardly (no window), living room (with its destination window) well. For the price and what the clock has it's what we were looking for, so 4 out of 5 stars.
