The display has nice large numbers for outside temp. Nothing else is readable from more than eight feet away. Add to that these are displayed on a black background, it's even worse. I had a previous 5-in-1 with a much better display. You need much larger numbers (less blank space), and a much higher contrast and brighter display (I have it set on brightest mode).
This is my second station so I love AcuRite. I am still having problems getting accurate temperature readings when in direct sunlight. Issue on both stations. Also directions for connecting Direct-to Wi-Fi are absolutely horrible. Had to have assistance getting it to work. Very big hassle.
My son got this for his 10th birthday, and he loves it so much!!

I have had the weather station for about 3 years. The temperature reading can be way off. The sensor is in the unit and in the sun it will heat up much higher than what the temperature should be. I know this because I have an Acurite temperature sensor that is placed in the shade. The batteries are new in the unit so that is not the problem.
