A lightning strike took out our digital clock which was of a similar style, but a different brand. With such a large digital display, the clock had actually been in use as the main family room clock. Friends and family alike came to depend on that clock whenever they were in that particular side of our house. What an unexpected loss, one which the family hadn't anticipated. Sure, no one thinks about a clock until it is gone. Continuously looking up to see the time where it no longer exists is frustrating.However, throwing another clock in its place was met with great family resistance. I'd no idea how much we all grew fond of that large LED display with that distinct green glow. Not red, not blue, the family insisted I seek out and purchase the same exact clock they had grown to love. So a relentless search ensued, but to no avail. Sadly the make of our old clock was nowhere to be found. The family demanded any alternative purchase must have the same look-appeal. So not only did it have to have the same large 1.8 inch green LED display, but the family insisted it have the same sleek, all black, modern square edges to blend with the rest of our high-tech entertainment center components it shared space with.I became exhausted trying to find such a match. It simply no longer existed, that is - until I found the GPX, Inc. C353B, and for under $20. What took so long in my search was that very few clocks now come in large green displays. Also all the other similar clocks have writing, buttons, and features up front that detract from the clean look we required to blend with our entertainment center. Make no mistake that this clock has all the features like adjustable dimmer, dual alarms, snooze, AM/FM, and battery backup, but they are all discretely hidden so you see nothing but a nice big digital display surrounded in a black flat-panel. One would hardly know it was an alarm clock.Most alarm clocks are made with the assumption that you are looking down from the bed to the nightstand, so they have an upward tilted view; however, this clock is rather flat-faced for a straight-on view and fits exactly what we needed. The entire family was quite impressed with the match I had found (I am a hero). So if you have a similar need, this is the clock for you. But even for bedside use, you won't be disappointed.
