Amazon.com Review
This versatile system forecasts local weather; automatically sets and updates the time, day, and date; keeps track of the indoor temperature; and employs a remote, wireless sensor to record the outdoor temperature up to 100 feet away. For forecasting weather within 12 to 24 hours, the 6-1/4-by-4-1/4-inch monitor employs a built-in electronic barometric-pressure sensor and then displays the upcoming weather with an icon (sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rain/snow) on its backlit LCD screen. For keeping track of time, the monitor is equipped with a radio receiver tuned to the U.S. atomic clock; this enables the monitor to maintain split-second accuracy by automatically adjusting, if necessary, to the atomic clock's signals six times every 24 hours. From those signals, the monitor also displays the date, the day, and the time zone for which the user has set the clock. Also, the clock automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and for leap year. The monitor beams the time and the outdoor temperature onto a wall or ceiling in large, red numerals for easy readability. If the monitor is in battery-mode (four AA batteries included), pressing the clock's snooze bar will beam the data for five seconds. If the monitor is plugged into a wall socket with an AC adapter (included), the projection will be available either for five seconds with the snooze bar or continuously if a continuous-beam control is set. The projection beam comes from a device mounted next to the clock. The device pivots so the beam can be projected onto any surface, and a dial focuses the beam for clarity. You can also choose to have the temperature displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. --Fred Brack

Battery Corrosion November 16, 2009
Joseph L. Stager
I liked this model so well that I purhased another one, even though the first unit that I purchased 2 years ago stopped working after the batteries (Duracell) corroded and shorted out the electonics. Clear projection, with lots of options for orientation.

This is the best projection clock I've ever owned. I love this clock! November 1, 2009

I love this clock! I got this clock to see the time and temperature projected on the ceiling, and it does that very well. I did NOT get it for the alarm or for seeing the time on the nightstand or projected with a lit room. Facts you might not see elsewhere, that I wanted to know before I bought it: 1. The projected numbers are red--easier on the eyes in the dark. 2. The colon blinks every second--you can count 60 seconds before the minute changes. (Maybe this helps put you to sleep--like counting sheep.) But it does not have a projected seconds display--it does on the unit, but not projected. 3. I wanted to know the indoor temperature projected, not the outdoor temperature, so I just put the temperature remote in the bedroom. 4. The projection stays on always. I've had a different unit by another maker that stayed on only for 30 seconds after you push a button. 5. The projection can be shown anywhere, any focus distance. Any tipped angle, rotated any angle, and flipped upside down if you want. Oregon Scientific makes real quality--not like that junk I bought at Walgreens where I could hardly see the red temperature numbers in the night, and the projection could not be rotated where you want it.

I Must Have Liked It, As This is My Second October 24, 2009
David L. Staples (Wichita, KS USA)
I had one of these for several years before the LED segments in the overhead display started to go away -- it was sort of fun trying to imagine what time it *probably* was -- so after a bit of research, which didn't turn up anything better, I simply got another.

Unlike some reviewers here, I have never had an issue with this unit or the previous one syncing up with the satellite-based time service. For me this has always worked fine, locking up a signal within minutes of my putting batteries in the clock. I am sure that anyone having trouble along these lines just has the clock, or his bedroom, in an unfortunate place.

The visibility of the projected time/temperature display is excellent, and it is versatile from the standpoint of positioning options. The remote temperature transmitter unit, which I have mounted on an outside balcony, gives no trouble, and a set of batteries lasts virtually forever, easily through one or more harsh winters and summers.

The unit can also display the temperature in the room, but this reading will be several degrees high if the red projection lamp is on -- a design flaw which causes me to withhold one star. Other than that, it's a very good product that does what it needs to do.

NOT Good... has some problems October 20, 2009
Steve Shvets (New York, USA)
Good
What I like is laser projection. It is in big letters and you could swivel it 180 degrees so you could position projection on a ceiling or wall. You could also zoom projection and flip it upside down. Very useful.
Bad
1. I bough this unit with intension to use outside termometer inside the house in another room. However, I do not think that both termometers inside the unit and outside one showing temperature correctly. They both show few degrees more than my other simple termometers.
2. It is been more than 4 days and unit still did not established radio connection to sync with atomic clock.
3. In the dark the only possible way to see time is projection on the wall or ceiling. However, would be nice if clock itself had a red display so would function as both projection and regular clock
Minor
1. Buttons on a unit too small(I do not think you r not going to use it after you finish initial setup)
2. Snooze button is way too small...

Mine has lasted 5 years and I need to replace it already October 9, 2009

That is right I got it 5 years ago and already a few of the LED segments have failed so some of the numbers do not display properly.

Everyone in the house loves it and wants one like it. I have purchased three others for the children that were less expensive. That was a mistake.

All of those have been very disappointing when compared to the Oregon Scientific BAR338PA ExactSet Projection Clock

a. Oregon Scientific RM313PNA Self-Setting Projection Alarm Clock with Indoor Thermometer, Blue
b. La Crosse Technology WT-5360U Atomic Projection Alarm Clock by La Crosse Technology

They are disappointing in that:

1. They have a much smaller and dimmer image on the ceiling.
2. They are much harder to set.

The third clock and the closest competitor is

c. HoMedics® SoundSpa(tm) Premier AM/FM Clock

It is not as sharp of an image or and slightly dimmer.
It does have other nice features though like the face is easier to read, it does have a radio and cool nature sounds as well.
