La Crosse Technology WT-5120U Projection Alarm Clock with Outdoor Temperature

Outdoor sensor (2010-07-26) : 3/5
The only con to this unit is the outdoor sensor. I've had two fail. I have it under the eve of my house, not in direct sunlight.
Other than that it has worked very well.
projetion clock (2010-07-22) : 4/5

Dim Dim Dim Display (2010-07-20) : 2/5
The clock works great, the temp is cool, but you can barely see the projector display in lighted conditions. It works great in the dark, but don't count on it projecting more than 2 to 3 feet away.
Price is Right (2010-07-16) : 4/5
Bought the La Crosse to replace a unit from a competitor that was about 4x more expensive. The unit does almost everything that the more expensive one did. It has one remote thermometer compared with three, doesn't forecast the weather and the projection is a little less bright. It's smaller size requires that it be placed a little closer to where it's normally being viewed. To be fair, the original was replaced free of charge under the lifetime warranty, taking 2-3 weeks. That was after several years use and no proof of purchase (was a gift). The La Crosse comes with a 1yr. limited warranty.

Because I was impatient and the price was so little, I made the La Crosse purchase and it arrived in a couple of days. (Sent out the original after it arrived.) If it lasts as well as long as the original unit it is well worth it.
Smooth operation and great value (2010-07-14) : 5/5
I owned the older version (536OU) of this clock for about 7 years prior to buying this one. The old model was outstanding, and finally wore out after 6 moves and continuous operation. I was looking for the same thing only newer, and I got almost what I was after in this clock.

Finding a clock with this many features, at any price point, is fairly tough. The only features it lacks (that the 536OU had) is two alarms programmable for two different times; the ability to choose what the projector displays (time/temp, time only, temp only); and the option to the turn the projector off or trigger it only by hitting the Snooze buton. The advantages to this model, however, are:

* Much brighter back light
* Much brighter projector (but not too bright. I keep my room DARK at night, and the red light does not disturb me at all)
* Vastly better buttons - bigger and easier to press/operate
* Offers indoor temperature and humidity as well as outdoor temp.

Set up is pretty easy if you've ever set a digital watch before. The manual is clear enough if you haven't. Setting up the sensor is easy too (follow the placement instructions, though, or it won't be accurate). I actually used the old sensor for my old model, and didn't bother with the new one that came with the clock. Within about 10 minutes the clock picked it up and has worked fine ever since.

Overall, a worthy replacement for my old model and easily worth the Amazon price tag of $20 or less.
