Imitation IPS Nixie Tube Clock,DIY Nixie Clock,Digital Alarm Clock, RGB Creative,LCD Screen,E-Sports Desktop,Reteo Modern Desktop,with Beautiful Gift Box Packaging

Easy setup and working within minutes after opening. I've always wanted a Nixie tube clock, this is better. Great bargain too on Prime Day.

I love the look and the kids love to play with it. A little hard trying to download program and setting it up but pretty easy after figuring it out and switching to English. Very happy

Great addition on top of my guitar amps. Nice retro feel.

The clock can be set to 12/24 hour mode, but ONLY by using the Windows app. It connects to WiFi then you can make SOME adjustments. However 12 hour mode STILL SHOWS A LEADING ZERO on the hours, I haven't found a way to turn that off. :-(In order to make other changes, you must use the chinese software on your PC. I don't like that idea.Yet on the positive side, the PC app does allow several customizations, including Auto Sleep/Wake and custom colors. For extra credit, it would be real cool to be able to show different album pix based on time, weather, etc. Like if there's rain or lighting locally, play some thunder sounds and show a chosen picture.Every time I touch the case, like to turn it or push a button, it reboots. TOO Static sensitive? The "Matrix" bootup display is pretty, but useless.It's nice that the firmware is upgradable, but I hope they listen to our suggestions.Otherwise, it's beautiful and I wish it worked better.1) Need an iPhone app.2) Need to turn off leading zero.3) Allow FULL control from the buttons on the clock.4) Need setting for Daylight Shifting Time.5) Need a setting for HHMM[S/S]W where [S/S] = 2-digit seconds on a single display, allowing Weather to be shown on the sixth digit. And that should be allow either in position 1 or 6.One more item: The really fancy packaging is a HUGE waste of money. Cut back...Problem 1) this device shows weather. But ONLY in China. The app is mostly Chinese and is unusable in the U.S.Problem 2) 12 hour mode displays incorrectly. In the 1PM hour, time is displayed with a leading zero. So “1:23:45” is incorrectly displayed as “01:23:45” which indicates the 1AM hour instead.After dozens of messages, they still REFUSE to fix it. This item should be BANNED in the U.S.

software could be easier to get

I've always loved Nixie clocks / devices, but they are expensive (when you can find them). I found this faux Nixie clock in the Vine program listings and thought it would make a cool looking desk clock.The clock is really well-packaged and is quite giftable. The instructions are printer very small, which is inconvenient for us older folk (I used my phone to magnify the assembly instructions). But they are clear and need to be followed precisely. This is especially true when handling the LCD chips. But if you follow the directions you should have a nice result when finished.The glass tubes can be mounted with, or without, using the double-sided tape. I tried doing without and found the tubes are insecure if you move the clock and turn it anyway but level. So I placed the tape rings on the bottom of each tube (this was really the most difficult part of the assembly process). As you can see in the last pic, the clock works and looks really nice.Now here's where things take a negative turn. Setting the clock is a hassle until you get used to the way to do it using the buttons on the base of the clock. I didn't enjoy this part at all. As you read the instructions you see that you can do even more with the clock (and probably a lot easier) by downloading a driver and program for your computer - from the PRC. Here's where my trust issues take center-stage. I don't think I'll ever do that with the way things are going (a shame too). It would be nice if the program was available as an app. So I will be using it in its basic form. It still looks cool though.Pros:1. Great packaging.2. Relatively easy to assemble (follow directions).3. Looks cool and has some great functionality (if you download the computer program).Cons:1. Instructions are tiny.2. Basic settings are a bit of a hassle.3. To get more functionality, and easier setting, you need to download, and install, a computer program from the PRC.I'm really happy with how it looks. However, for the price, I would hope that the basics would be easier to set or change when using the buttons on the base of the clock. Without being able to do this, and requiring a program/driver download to do more (or do things easier), I'm quite neutral in recommending this item. I have it at three stars, but please think of it as a strong 3.5 stars.I hope that my review, and pics, have been helpful to you. Regards.

This nixie clock is beautiful. There is some assembly required, which actually made me feel like I was building the clock, which was fun. The displays are nice and bright and the numbers are easy to read. It has a built-in setup system and the menus are easy to read and follow. The different clock faces available are really nice, I hope future updates add more faces and functions, this could be a great multi-function device if they were to try it.

I'm old enough to have used equipment with NIXIE tubes, and they looked so darn cool. Over the years have looked at building one, but the tubes have been increasingly rare and expensive. Enter a small high density display and you can mimic one at a reasonable price point. Sold. Now I have to find a place that is prominent enough to display it that doesn't annoy my wife...

Wow, this clock is perfect and looks fantastic! It exactly matches what the description and pictures look like and is packaged exquisitely! I can’t believe it is only $135 CDN. It even came with an extra LED chip! Well done folks!!!

apparently it has a bunch of alarms in setting, don't use the packet with the single bulb because its a backup or need programing or something.

I thought it was a good product but the screen as you can see goes all black and overall the product stops work and I don’t even think I had this product over 6 months.

Fantastic presentation and build quality. Software is a little rough around the edges. Comes with a spare screen. Worth the money for a cool little clock
