Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: Display is too dim
Summary: 1 Stars
The display is way too dark and almost impossible to read accurately during the day time.Digital camera Review: Display not bright enough
Summary: 2 Stars
Sony's green LED display is too dim for a sunlit room. I returned this clock and replaced it with the Emerson Radio CKS2235SB Jumbo Display Dual Alarm Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology. The Emerson has a red LED display which is visible from across the room any time of day.Digital camera Review: Does not keep the correct time
Summary: 2 Stars
Although the large, adjustable-brightness display and adjustable volume is great to have, the functions are pointless since the clock does not keep the correct time. It's not bad, but every few days I have to reset the clock.Digital camera Review: Don't buy for the radio.
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the clock, with an adjustable display that is even larger than it appears from the picture. The alarm and time-setting controls on the front are simple and intuitive. But the radio is barely usable, with small cheap plastic dials, poor discrimination between nearby stations, and a high shrill sound that is hard to listen to even for talk
radio.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy this one
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't usually write reviews, but I am doubly annoyed at this product because we bought two at the same time only to have them gradually fall apart. OK, it became part of our routine to set the clock back a few minutes everyday to compensate for it speeding ahead. But then it developed an annoying habit of issuing a short burst of the alarm at odd hours of the night. Both clocks are now in the trash.... what a waste of money.
