The connectivity of it works great. The color scheme of the background is bad and the black numbers don't overcome the colors or even the brightness adjustment. The stand for the display should have an adjustment of be at a different angle. You will not see the data from over 8' away unless you put a shim behind the stand to tilt it a little more forward.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review; we appreciate your feedback! LCD screens typically have somewhat limited viewing angles. The viewing angle for our displays is optimized for typical display setups, such as on a side table, where it is meant to be seen at eye-level or from slightly above the display. For the best results, please make sure that you are using standard alkaline batteries from a high-quality brand. If we may further assist, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request.
I have had a similar model like this one for 10 to15 years and were completely satisfied. It simply wore out, and it was time to get a new one. Looks great, works as advertised and a great value.
