That means that even with be color being blue, you can adjust it so that it is barely visible in a dark room

lights up the room and will really interfere with light sleepers.

Even though the brightness button does not work the the brightness at night almost lit up the room, even with the brightness adjustment on the bottom of the radio adjusted low.

I didn't have any problem finding a setting that is dim but allows easy reading min a dark room.

You can set 2 levels of display intensity, one very bright for normal room light and one adjustably dim for a dark room

I turn the brightness way down at night and it still illuminates the room to some degree.

Audio output power is about one Watt, but is quite room filling and plenty loud

I don't mind, but if you need a really dark room to sleep, this clock is not for you

I like a pretty dark room

A nice feature they have added is that when the display is in the low level setting (adjustably dim for a dark room) anytime you change stations the display reverts to the bright display mode for about 10 seconds and then goes back to the dim display

And I have to admit the default brightness is stunning in dark room, but using the knob on the bottom allows you to turn the brightness down to where the face is unreadable, so it's not an issue, you can get whatever brightness level you want.

Only minor complaint is that even with the clock display dimmer on low, it still lights up a room a little.

I like my room to be very dark at

Here's what I like:--I am very sensitive to light and like to sleep in a dark room.

I prefer to have a darker room

It was either too bright and would light up the room or too dim and could not see the numbers

A large enough display that was lit at night but very dim, preferable amber in color (warm colored light in a dark room is more conducive to sleep than the blues and greens)

This thing lights up my room at night like a neon sign, even if I turn it away from me where I can't even read it

So, to read the time I have to either get focused enough to read the very dim display or press any of the buttons to bring the display to full brightness, which is very bright in a dark room

If your room is bright in the morning, you won't be able to read the display if it is dimmed

I'd rate this the biggest drawback to this radio -- especially for those relying on it to get out of bed in the morning ;o{

I like the specialized programming (you can pick any day combinations you like, not just M-F or Sat/Sun)

If you work a typical work week (M-F) you'll love that you can set the alarm/radio to wake you up ONLY on weekdays.1.
