If alarms or music are not enough to get you out of bed in the morning, this projection alarm clock might give you the jolt you need. This bedside clock displays the precise time in hours and minutes on its backlit LCD screen. When the alarm sounds, the time also projects in large red digits onto a wall or ceiling up to six feet away so you can’t miss seeing it. The projection arm has four different orientation angles for you to adjust it to the perfect eye level and also has an adjustable brightness control. The clock has two alarm settings, enabling you to set wake-ups for two different times, and an adjustable snooze button allows you to set a respite of anywhere between 1 and 59 minutes between alarms and flashing digits. The clock has a built-in antenna system that receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock. Once you plug the unit in and set the clock to the proper time zone (of four US time zones), it will automatically set to the accurate time. The main screen also displays a United States map icon and identifies your current time zone, plus it shows the current indoor temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees. Switch between modes and the LCD shows the current date and year, which is also radio-controlled for complete accuracy. This projection alarm clock comes with an AC power adapter and also runs on two AA batteries as a backup method. The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty on this projection clock. --Cristina Vaamonde
