Review on Emerson CKS3516 SmartSet Dual-Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projection System (Limited Availability) by Scott Adaymiln

Normal clock from the display. The projector is pretty much useless. Mine died after 2 weeks and just won't start anymore. Well, sometimes it works, maybe for a day, then it shows the death symptoms coming one after another, the lines in the numbers fade and disappear, then it doesn't work for a couple of weeks. This will be the last projection alarm clock I will be buying for quite some time. I don't know if technology is to blame or if the company just released a bad product with a touted description. anyway it's useless. If you look at the numbers on a real clock, you'll see the brightness in the middle of each red line and then kind of fade towards the ends (you can see that in the picture). If you look at it as a whole, there is no clear and precise indication of time. However, it serves its purpose. I love the two alarm clocks and how, when they go off, they not only roar from the start, but gradually get louder and louder. I usually wake up when it's still soft and much nicer.
