Compact green segmented display. Easy to read but low brightness (of 3 levels) is too bright for overnight bedside use. 2 layers of static cling "limo dark" window tint over the display on low bright make t OK for our bedside use. It's way over featured for a clock (date, temperature, etc.) and excessively complicated to set with non intuitive setting buttons. There is a complex function setting tree that works - with some interpretation. Yes, I can recommend it, but also suggest looking for a less complicated clock.
