 Poor October 26, 2008

Didn't like the ceiling display color or size. Could not get the outdoor remote unit to work. Took it apart and found out there was a wire that had never been soldered properly. I was going to throw the whole thing away but my son wanted to try to repair it. He is currently looking for someone with a soldering gun. Lousy workmanship. I would neve buy another unit from this company. don taylor
 Bright, but good July 8, 2008

Bought this clock in order to get an outside temperature reading display. The wireless sensor works well, but it did lose the signal for awhile. Shutting off the clock and restarting fixed that. I am not using the atomic-clock radio link, and it keeps time fine.
My only issue is the brightness of the projection display... it is BRIGHT. Since our ceiling is white, the bright blue display actually lights up the entire room at night. It takes a few nights to get used to. I tried putting a filter over the projector, but it didn't cut the brightness enough.
Lastly, it would be nice to have the backlight come on automatically in daylight, just like the projector comes on automatically when lights are off. Otherwise, a great clock - works well, looks good, reasonable price.

Have had the Oregon Scientific projection clock for a little over six months now. Has held up extremely well, despite the abuse and riggors of three kids who like to bump it around and play with it from time to time.
My projector stays on all the time and does not interfere with normal sleep patterns. After the first week or so you get used to it. Only problem is that you cannot rotate the projection display ... only flip it ... which somewhat limits the clock's orientation. A photocell is supposed to turn the projector off during the day, but my bedroom never gets bright enough to accomplish this ... so the projector basically stays on all the time.
The LCD display is WAY too bright ... such that I keep it turned OFF. Problem being that, if it's off, you can't see the clock during the day. If it's on, however, you can't sleep at night. I choose to keep the backlight turned off and therefore can't see my clock display during daylight hours. Would be nice if the clock could turn on it's LCD backlight during the day and off at night automatically. Oh well.
The atomic time reception works well. It will occassionally experience poor reception during the day, and incorrectly reset the clock, but I've only had this happen maybe 3-4 times since I've owned it. Figured out you can disable then re-enable WWVB reception using a key sequence, and within a minute or two the correct time will come back. Much easier than trying to remove and replace the batteries to promote a time sync.
Wireless outdoor temperature works great. Never a problem.
Spouse likes the projection feature a lot ... as she can easily see the time and outdoor temp at night, on the ceiling, with no need to try and look (over me) at a clock on my side of the bed.
Alarm clock works well, and auto resets itself daily. Only thing it needs is the ability to set specific days (ala M-F) instead of always being on or off.
While there are a few things that could use improvement, overall I like the clock a lot. The projector, WWVB time sync, and outdoor temperature are features that I've come to really enjoy. Could care less about waking up to FM, CD, or MP3 ... so the clock works really well for me.

Gave this projection clock as a gift after reading the blue light might make it difficult to sleep. My son loves it and does not have a problem with the blue light. However, this particular clock loses 6 hours every evening. It comes back correctly in the morning. We are planning to contact the seller about this problem. Will try to update this review at a later. time.
 cool device with fatal flaw: bright blue light December 5, 2007

This is a neat clock. It comes with an outdoor temperature sensor, so you can look up on the ceiling from your cozy bed, and see how cold it is outside.
This unit's projection is on the bright side, however. Since we bought it, I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I don't know if the clock is to blame, but after we returned it, I slept better again.
Of course, there is well established research that shows that cells in our eyes are very sensitive to blue light, and the that color promotes wakefullness by interrupting melatonin production (google search for "effect blue light sleep".. Science Magazine has a good article). This circadian cycle is how our bodies know when it is day or night.
You'd think Oregon Scientific would stick with non-blue colors to keep from disturbing peoples sleep. Even my wife had trouble sleeping, and she never does.
The problem was bad enough that we returned it after about a month. Our model with the red projection light is much more appropriate for night time.
