Nice clock and helpful hint for those who find the display on the white version too bright...
Nice, simple alarm clock. I bought the single alarm version and wake up to the radio (which, by the way, has decent reception and tonal quality). Simply press the alarm reset button to stop it and it's already set for the next morning! As I have it set up, if it's left set by mistake (say you're not home), the radio simply plays for an hour. I purchased the white version because it is easier to see the markings on the controls (especially in dim light). The problem with the white version (as noted by others) is the plastic overlay covering the display allows the LEDs to emit too much light (even on dim setting) and there is also a bright yellow aura or halo around each LED. Solution... I made a 3 7/8" (10cm) square screen cover from translucent vinyl (actually, using the purple color from a loose leaf divider set, I had sitting around) and taped it over the front. Seems to help considerably. You can experiment for yourself. See before and after photos.
