This review is from: NAXA NX-162 Digital LED Projection Display Alarm Clock Radio (Electronics)

I was shopping for a projection clock for a while, reading reviews, etc. But then I got this one, which had no reviews. Why? - It was twice cheaper, and I assumed it couldn't be twice worse.
So far I haven't been mistaken. For $12 you get 2 clocks and an alarm radio. Not bad.
Notes:
1. Like many other projection clocks out there, the projection clock is independent from the one on the unit display, so you need to set both. It seems ridiculous, but could be a feature, if for some reason you need two different times set.
2. The projection clock is more flexible in settings. You can have 12 or 24-hour style of time display and have it alternate between time and date, if you'd like. Personally, I find alternation flashing annoying, and I don't really need to be reminded of the date every 3 seconds or so. The main unit clock only shows time and only 12 am/pm style.
3. The projection image is a little weak, but good for full darkness. You can't see it, if you have a night lamp on. But then there's the main unit screen. On the plus side, the image is not disturbingly bright at night.
4. Maybe it's my locality, but AM reception is way more clear than FM. I could not get any reasonable reception from FM at all.
5. There's a battery back up, and the projector image stays on constantly (or could be switched off entirely).
6. The setting of the time(s) is not very intuitive. I had to look at the instructions.
I haven't tried alarm.
In summary, this is a great deal for the money.

I had wanted a projection clock for quite some time. I decided on this one after reading the reviews. I didn't need anything fancy; I only wanted to be able to look at the ceiling in the middle of the night to see the time. Admittedly, I missed the one important line the "technical details" section: "Projects time on wall at the touch of a button". The projection only works after hitting the snooze button, then it fades to off in 5 seconds. If I'm going to turn over to hit the snooze button to see the time on the wall/ceiling, it defeats the purpose of having the projection feature. Now we just have an extra clock/radio in the house.....I'm not paying shipping to return it.

I bought this so that I can tell the time when lying down in bed and look up at the ceiling. But for that purpose it does not do a good job. The projection light is very weak and the numbers do not show very well at more than 5 feet. There is a focus ring on the side for refocusing the beam but that did not help much.

And oh one more thing. You have to set the clock up two times. Once for the main clock and then again for the projection. They seem to be two different clocks which was kind of weird.
