Good but a few big flaws

Sony ICF-C717PJS.CEF Multifunction Clock Radio with projector Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Benefits:
- The projection is very clear and adjustable
- The natural sounds are really good and provide a pleasant awakening
- Many functions
- Ability to have a wake time for the week and another for the weekend
- The alarm seems very good at the touch and weight. In short, it's not something plastoc made in china.

Disadvantages:
- The display is too bright. This is the screen that is bright and not just the numbers displayed. I really do not understand this choice during manufacture.
Result is little / no readable either in black or in the day as too bright. Moreover, despite the two brightness levels available is too bothersome at night and you have to do without the screen (completely removing its light) and use only the projected time.
- The temperature is not projected. Given the fact that the display is too strong to let the night ... we never see the temperature.
- The buttons are loud and it wakes his sweetheart when making adjustments
- The alarm repeat function (to save a few minutes of sleep in the morning) is the same button as that adjusts the brightness of the screen.
Result: this sounds, we want to recover the brightness of the screen to see the time. But instead of that, we add time to the repeat function (each click on this function increases of time before the next snooze). And there is the drama: we see nothing and with each click we add time rather than to illuminate the screen. It does not look like much but it's really inconvenient to use and it does not in a good mood when it happens.

Conclusion: it could have been a great awakening but these few ergonomic and lighting defects spoil everything.
