giant pixel led alarm clock

I’m not sure what my fascination is with LED clocks these days, but there’s just something appealing about their minimalism and sheer ease of use. So that said, here’s another one to check out if you’re in the market for a cool looking clock.
Rather than the typical red, 7-segment LEDs we’ve become accustomed to seeing, this LED alarm clock features a grid of large blue LED pixels to form the current time. It’s clean, simple, and very easy to read. The $68 clock is perfect for any desk or bedside table and available from PureModern.
[UPDATE 4/6/2007: I've recently found a couple of better images of this clock here.]

i through ordering and having to replace these clocks i had 4 of them and 2 have been faulty with the same thing straight out the box, many of the leds on the display dont work. the manufacturing quality of these must be terrible since theyve never even been turned on to check this and 50% of the ones ive had have been faulty. there was also bits of dirt under the displays which showed up when the led under those squares turned on. given these low standards of chinese manufacturing although it feels solid im not confident itll hold up for that long before something goes wrong.
on the plus side the big display is big and impressive even in daytime although its not quite as bright as the picture on here which must have had a longer exposure. the alarm is loud and although it runs of mains there is a cell battery to keep the internal clock going incase theres a powercut in the night.
its a great looking and eyecatching clock, its just a shame a better companies couldnt have made a higher quality and reliable version of it.
