1) Can the display be fully dimmed? And 2) does it have a battery backup? and 3) Is the clock "Atomic"?

Display can be FULLY dimmed. In fact that's how I prefer it. It also has battery back up. It is not an atomic clock.

Mine is in a box in the basement. Not thrilled with the radio and had to take the case off my iPhone -a very thin case- every time I wanted to put it in the dock. Also the controls do not fully work with the iPhone. Expensive DUD in my book bad design

No, it is not black lit but easy to read. You can also use a keyboard on the actual display.

No the display will not dim the only thing you can manipulate is the amount of time it stays on

Is this really a concern? Its minimal. About the equivalent of a analog clock except it only is on when motion and lack of light are present.

There's 6 different brightness settings, with the darkest being quite dark. I just checked it out and it doesn't even cast a glow around the clock so you can make out what else may be sitting around next to the clock itself. I took a photo if you're interested, but it doesn't look like I can post it here.

Yes it does have 4 settings including off so it does not show the display at all. I have not used that one but I keep mine on low and you can barely see it during the day and it is dim enough for me at night but I can still see it.

As far as I am aware the light with the clock etc on it does not turn off or even dim. It's permanently lit up with the time displaying when turned off.

The display can be shut completely off. 8 adjustment levels from bright to dim then no display. The dimmer is located on the snooze button.

It does have a clock feature. When the unit is off, nothing on the display. However, while unit is off, if "clock" button is pressed on remote, the time will appear on the screen, for about 20 seconds, without having to power on the unit.

As others have said, if you have the alarm set, the clock display will dim once the light gets down to a certain darkness level but it does not ever go completely off as far as I can tell. It is definitely not as bright as a traditional alarm clock display.

You can't adjust the brightness of the clock, at least I haven't seen a way. With one setting for brightness, that's a small price to pay for the quality of the Bluetooth capabilities, it's why I bought this clock in the first place.

It can be dimmed to half but not turned off. I just turn it facing away so it does not distract me. Its very lightweight so easy to do.

Yes, the display stays lighted for several seconds and eventually reverts to 0.0 and then shuts off.

I just checked the screen dimmer function on my Sangean AM-FM atomic clock radio. Each time I pressed the snooze/dimmer button the clock display would increment upwards in brightness each time the snooze/dimmer button was pressed.Eventually the clock face brightness reached its maximum brightness and then each additional press of the snooze/dimmer button started over in the clock face brightness so that the clock face was completely dim and unreadable.So yes this clock radio will let you completely dim out the clock display.

Yes, the cover slides down so you can read the displays. It automatically resets at midnight, but you can also reset it manually. The instructions are included.

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch.Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.
