read on other reviews that backlight is too bright, button press tone too loud, and manual "poorly translated from chinese".
from www.amazon.com
the only negative of note is the bright blue backlight...it is too bright to leave on at night, if used as a bedside clock radio.
from www.amazon.com
the problem: i would like to use it as a alarm clock next to the bed, but the backlighting is so bright that you can't leave it on at night and sleep.
from www.amazon.com
it's difficult to see from the side of the bed, even when the backlight is turned on.
from www.amazon.com
i love the bluelight backlight on the display and the beeps that some people say are annoying can be, but for the most part you get used to it and it's not that big a deal.

Sony LIV

the only thing that would make it better would be a backlight for the clock display.
from www.amazon.com
the only negative, as another reviewer mentioned, is that the backlight "low" setting is still a little bright for a dark room for my taste, but that doesn't bother me much since i keep it on the
from www.amazon.com
the one negative is the backlight only has two setting high and low.
from www.amazon.com
the three backlight levels are terrific.
from www.amazon.com
this radio does not have a backlight, and uses 3 aa cells for power (i keep the extra cell from a 4-pack in the refrigerator for the next change...so this is not a big problem).

from www.amazon.com
you can only read the clock during the day if you activate the backlighting on it or get up really close, but to me that's not a problem.
from www.amazon.com
my insomnia tendencies are also why i appreciate the fact that you can't see the clock display at all if you haven't hit the button on top to activate the backlight - no glancing over in the middle
from www.amazon.com
you cannot read the clock face in the dark without first hitting the backlight button.
from www.amazon.com
1.) you can't disable the bright blue backlighting or even dim it if you press the snooze bar for a status in the middle of the night (why isn't this also red?!)
from www.amazon.com
i like the blue backlight of the screen and also the nice red colored digital projection.

Aluratek AIRMM01 Internet Radio Alarm Clock

$134.00 Est. at Amazon

from Johann, www.newegg.com
"extermely bright backlightif you turn off the backlight, you can't see the clock"--------------------------------------------but, as i could read, aluratek tries to find a way to solve this problem.
from www.amazon.com
and the backlighted time displays only when the radio is actually on; though i expect that glitch to be fixed in a software update.
from www.amazon.com
there is no dim backlight setting.
from Sasqui, www.newegg.com
like everyone else said the backlight should have a dimmer option.
from www.amazon.com
the manufacturer's website has answers for two questions regarding this product: you can't dim the backlight and if you can't connect to your wireless network, you have to download their new firmware.

Sony SY-ICF-CD7000

$83.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
in actuality, it looks much like the pictures; the blue is a backlight that is on when the interior light is set to high.
from www.amazon.com
there are three light settings: really bright, reasonably bright, and backlight only, controlled via the "snooze" bar.
from www.amazon.com
space-saving attractive unit, but the only usable setting for the backlight is off!

from www.target.com
the backlight for the clock has three dimmer settings and there is a daylight savings time button.
from www.amazon.com
also, another reviewer criticized the backlight, said it's not bright enough.
from www.amazon.com
the 3 brightness levels do not help, they just increase the backlight which does nothing for the actual information on the display.
from www.amazon.com
pros: plenty of presets, weatherband, nice display with 3 backlight levels.

but still i can only clearly see the clock at night if the backlight is turned pretty bright, which i prefer it not to be.

but the real problems are the humane waking system (hws), volume controls, snooze timer & backlight.

- convenient button on front that switches the backlight to full power.
