However when it's dimmed, it still lights up the whole room

I turn it off at night, because in a dark room, it can be pretty bright, even on dim

Another problem I have is that even on the lowest setting the time display is too bright and distracting in a dark room.

SONY could have made it better to see in a bright sunlight room

Blue light even dimmed lights up whole room

The display is not blue back-light amber would be nice if it had auto feature when the room was bright it would switch off to the LCD mono screen

Even on low, it provides a glow that spans 1/2 the room

The buttons on top are black with tiny white lettering that are hard to read at night when the room is darker.

The blue background light is a little bright in a dark room, however, there are three brightness settings to choose from.

Even on low, in a dark room the light is fairly bright, and when it's off it's annoying having to turn it on to see what time it is at a glance

Up close or in a dark room it's perfectly fine, but from across a lit room it's just a blue rectangle of light.

The backlit display is too bright in a dark room, yet the display is difficult to read because of the low contrast between the numbers and the background.

At night, in a dark room, on the backlight off setting, the time cannot be read at all as the display appears completely black.

It resets itself to the correct time after a power outage automatically and displays both the room temperature and the alarm set time right in the display so you can know at a glance that you set the alarm correctly for those times when you are half-awake and wonder whether you did it correctly or not.

The Dim position of background could be much lower for a dark room, and the Backup Battery was dead.

I like that the display light can be turned off - I have had 5 other Sony clock radios and even on the dimmest setting, I still have to cover them to get a dark enough room to sleep

Light display has 3 settings and low setting was too much light for a dark room, it lit up the

The numbers and background are the same color making it impossible to see the time when the room is dark.

In a darkened room, if the unit is above your line of vision (as mine is when I wake up in the morning

The blue light on the face is very bright and illuminates the room when dark

It literally illuminates the entire room once your eyes adjust.

Its very bright but the worst part of it is that you can not see the time in a dark room

The blue light on the face is very bright and illuminates the room when dark

Has temperature on display, which helps confirm if room is too hot or cold

I got this for my kids because they share a room & like to sleep with the nature sounds going all night.

A real shock in a totally dark room.
