I read and reread the instructions several times, having trouble getting the display to a 12 hour (rather than 24 hour) format.

The alarm clock is easy to use, has 3 different alarms including FM radio, and adjustable display light, lighting and sound.

Maybe if you aren't super light sensitive, the display wouldn't bother you

I actually love the feel of this clock, the smooth touch display, the fact that the buttons light up when you bring your hand close to it

The only negatives are that the display is reasonably bright even on the lowest setting and that once the plug comes out of the wall, you have to reset the time (the alarm keeps its time, though).

You can't adjust the level of the bright red display of numbers so you have to put up with a lurid glow cast by the numbers over your sheets and nightstand

Due to this, having the light bright enough to wake me up means that the display is so bright I have a hard time falling asleep

The clock slowly and gently brightens as it approaches your wakeup time
