PatsyPatsy: I received this Ambient Weather RC-8401 clock about 1 week ago and I am 100% satisfied! More than satisfied! It exceeds all my expectations in a projection clock. I like: 1) it's atomic, thus i don't have to change the time when the time changes! It automatically set itself after a few hours. Ha! 2) It was easy to set up and I am no brainiac! I just followed the instructions on what to do 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Too easy! 3) The projection of time and alternating temperature is perfect and I am nearsighted, I wear glasses! While in bed at night, the projection is VERY VERY clear! It measures about 13" tall from bottom to top. 4) the setting buttons are all in easy to find places, no confusion; the flip button is right on top rather than in back. 5) I enjoy the screen on the clock changing colors depending on the temperature. 6) I've had a previous projection clock from another company and it was a smaller clock but had no temperature projection. This one by far is better than that one and projection is much larger as well.

Note: all projection clocks basically rotate 180 degrees, meaning you can flip it in reverse on the ceiling or wall. So I place...

Wayne Bradley: Used to be that Oregon Scientific owned the market for these, but they've cheapened down and their stuff is crap. The WS-8400 is the way it's supposed to work. It's cool to have the time, indoor temperature and outdoor temperature over your bed at night. I wish it listened to the atomic clock and set it's own time, but it doesn't.

Charles Magnuson: This clock delivers what is promised. The large display provides a wealth of information and the projection arm provides large digits on the wall. The outdoor temperature module also functions reliably as long as it is in range of the clock. Additionally, the atomic clock feature which automatically sets the time correctly is super useful.

Real quick, my complaints are the following:
- The range of the outdoor temperature module is not tremendous. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and while the clock does receive a signal from the module which is out on the living room balcony, the signal is not super strong.
- The outdoor temperature displayed is consistently 5°F hotter than it really is. Unfortunately, while the barometer can be recalibrated, the outdoor temperature cannot be adjusted.
- The projection arm has 180° of range. While this suits most applications, if you want to place your clock several feet higher than the level of your bed you will find that the projection arm does not point downward. This means that instead of being able to roll onto your side to see the projected image, you'll have to tilt your head upwards towards the ceiling....

aaroncgi: This is an awesome clock! The projection on the ceiling is very large and clear, and readable to me without my glasses at night, even though I have quite poor eyesight without the spectacles. I love the beautiful color changing display, which is easy to read day or night. And even though there's a wealth of information on the screen at the same time, it's arranged logically and all easy to read at a glance. The outdoor temperature sensor is within half a degree of another wireless outdoor digital thermometer I'm using, so seems accurate, and so far has no problem staying connected (did have that issue with the other wireless thermometer).

I do have a few minor quibbles:

1.While I love the color changing display, it only stays on the red and orange colors for a fraction of a second each, then on the blue, green, turquoise, purple, and yellow for several seconds each. Not sure why this is. However, I've seen this same behavior on multiple other devices with color changing LEDs, so must be something in the design of the circuits. Not a biggie - can always fix the color to red or orange if I wanted to, but then I'd lose all the rest.
2. While you can...
