I bought this for around twenty dollars at office maximun (sp) a couple years ago and have seen it recently for much less. The idiglo backlight is ok and better than the incandescent like light on the few SkyScan atomic clocks I have.

This was my fourth "atomic" alarm clock, and by FAR the worst I've ever owned. The controls are anything but intuitive, and the receiver doesn't seem particularly sensitive (I had it sitting right next to the Oregon Scientific clock I use at home, and the very nice Seiko QHR016 travel alarm that I bought to replace it, and both the Oregon Scientific and the Seiko picked up the signal fine, while the Digiview saw nothing).
The worst part, however, is the LCD screen and backlight. First off, the LCD fades badly if you're not looking at just the right angle. The really dim green backlight does too. Unfortunately, the angle at which the screen is most readable and the angle at which the backlight is brightest do NOT coincide. What's more, when my clock was sitting on the nightstand next to my bed, I could not read it without picking it up.
I know that this is a really minor quibble compared to the rest, but the alarm has a really unpleasant tone (at least for me).
Let me put it this way -- I spent almost $50 on this clock just a few weeks ago, and I recently bought the Seiko travel alarm (which I love), and threw the Digiview RC304EL in the trash (even though it was still "working"). That says it all.
