Digital Clock Large Display for Seniors - Newest Version 9" Led Dimmable Impaired Vision Digital Clock with USB Charger Port, SD Card Support Play Picture, Video, Perfect for The Elderly

I bought this clock for my dad who is experiencing memory issues, and cannot remember the day or date. In addition, he gets morning and evenings confused. He often cannot tell if it is 6 am or 6 pm. This clock is perfect! Large lettering and easy to read layout. He needs constant reminding, and this clock does the trick. It is very handsome, and I like the fact that it comes with different color frames - if you so choose. I plan on ordering more for his bedroom and other living areas, so the different style frames will work nicely. I highly recommend this clock.

Nicely boxed, professionally presented with an organized multipage instruction manual. It’s a handsome clock with a display that looks just like on Amazon’s website. The display is easy to read day or night.However, the clock also has some significant drawbacks. It is without a doubt the most difficult clock to set that I have ever set up. Although carefully described in the instructions, the set up process is very difficult. The clock is not engineered using the typical logic that most of us have now become used to on Chinese clocks. These controls perform different functions in different parts of the set up, some of which are completely opposite from the way they were used in previous steps.The labels of the controls are also extremely difficult to read. They have been shallowly engraved in to the plastic mold and have no paint, print or color. They are pure white, the same as the plastic they sit in. Additionally, they have been made to be exactly level with the rear plastic panel, so they are hard to feel. I ended up holding a flashlight at an obtuse angle to be able to read the control labels. I had to and continue to look while I operated them since once you look away, you won’t be able to identify them without looking again. It’s hard to hold a flashlight and look at the back of the clock when you need to see what changes you are effecting on the front of the clock.I'm not going to use the background photos because when I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll either stumble over to the clock or use the tiny remote (smaller than a credit card) to turn the pictures off so that I am able to see the time. Big remotes get lost in our house and in the middle of the night a tiny one is going to be hard to find, not to mention that I'll have to turn on the light, find my glasses and then figure out which button does what.Despite the set-up difficulties, I’m going to keep the clock since it is a very nice clock and I now know the magic needed to set it up. However, I’m already fearing the next power outage, since by then I’ll have forgotten how to set it up and be looking at another 30 to 45 minutes to get it re-programmed.

Oh, the title?? Medicare requires that my insurance company make a survey once a year. They have been doing it by robocall. The questions are standard like have I fallen in the last year. Yes? I get a call from some medical alert place. Then I tell them I fell off my bike 5 miles from home -- can their device handle that? No? I tell them they are selling 1980s technology. Such calls always end with the 2 standard senile dementia questions: What year is it? Who is the president? I got the first one right, 2019. The robovoice then gave me a choice of 1) Bill Clinton 2) George W. Bush 3) Barack Obama. My answer "None of the above" was not acceptable and the robovoice tried 2 more times. Computers are much smarter than we are. Computers don't make mistakes. So there's a computer at an insurance company which has diagnosed me as senile.An important point is that most of us use a memory of last night's TV shows to know what day of the week it is. Otherwise a Friday can feel like a Thursday. I told a teacher who is a friend about this and she's going to get one. Teachers often spend an evening grading papers rather than watching TV so she sometimes loses track of the day.MY POINT IS this product is for everyone. Marketing it for senility is kind of insulting.I have sleep apnea. I roll from one shoulder to another. I have always had a lighted clock to the right on a night stand because I wake often and have to check whether I should force myself back to sleep. Also in winter I may be napping and see that the clock says "6" -- am or pm ??? Is this morning before dawn or the start of the night??? And if I am sleeping on my left shoulder I have to roll to the right.No more. I have this clock centered at the top of the wall opposite the head of the bed. At its lowest light level it is a good night light.NOW WHY I GIVE IT ONLY 4 STARS*******ONE. The light levels are not really controllable. The auto adjusting feature does not lower the light to it minimum, level 1, in a dark room. So I just set it to 1. It's on a wall that's never struck by sunlight.TWO. The light levels are not really controllable. I tried the remote and turned it off. I turned it on. After a splash screen (why????) it came back on but with the back light level a rather bright blue which washed out the text. I had to unplug it and plug it to get it back to normal.THREE. No daylight saving time setting. One more clock to tediously reset twice a year.FOUR. Tiny menus for all the settings. You're going to set and forget most of them but when I have to change daylight savings time I will have to get step ladder to get close enough to read the menu to do that. That setting should have been larger and easier.

its really embarassing that u cant remember what day is it specially u keep asking the same question for 20-40x..thanks for this clock,my friend that has dementia loved it...he said it was the best gift he had for 88 yrs of his life..awww

I have dropped this clock two times and accidently caused it to fall off the wall once. It is still working without complaint.
