Good but still too bright for me

Pure Siesta clock radio (DAB / DAB + / FM tuner) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Radio reception of this device is impressive (compared with my old clock radio), even if DAB not really want me, besides we are probably not adequately supplied.
However, to my mind regulates the brightness control is not down far enough. I wanted a clock radio that is not illuminated the whole room. While that is given, but it could be even darker, I'm very sensitive. The display is backlit namely as a whole and is in completely dark places of a bright rectangle in which the numbers a bit brighter than the rest. It's exhausting to read. Here the manufacturer could try in standby really just to illuminate the numbers and nothing else.
Alternatively, I would find a good mode which really turns on the lights only by pressing for a few seconds, as is the case with any cheap travel alarm clock.

In addition, I do not like that I have no way to run the radio is exposed during the alarm means "Snooze". Once I turn on the radio, the wake-up has been completed and the alarm does not ring.

In short:
+ Brightness control, the display is easy to read in any light and at night not very bright
With the possibility to switch + Super radio reception to mono, thus preventing noise again
+ Easy to use thanks to the large text display
+ High-quality overall impression

- Much too bright for my sensitive sleep
- You can indeed set multiple alarms, but to use radio and alarm parallel (Only Radio, then 5 minutes later a horn sound to it) does not go, the radio goes out as soon as the other alarm mode is active. If you switch on the radio then manually, the alarm is off.
- Expensive; the technique is actually trivial

I wanted the device so return but my wife wants to keep him. :)
