No way to wake up display
582003
The display goes to sleep and there seems to be no way to awaken without touching a button that changes the state. Often I want everything to stay the same but I want to see the display

Nice case,  But the wake/sleep component is non-existent.., checked it on other metallic items and There is no magnet in it to turn it off when you close the case in the one I got... what pain!  Continually running out of juice, because I expect it to turn off when I close the case and it doesn't... I will be returning it when my new case arrives...

The case is fine with the exception that there is no auto sleep/wake alarm!

I had to return this monitor as when it woke from sleep the display would flicker/flash blank or jig right by like 1/2 a screen overlayed for sometime until it seemed to "warm-up". I searched around and saw that this was a common complaint. I replaced it with PA249Q 24" which doesn't exhibit the issue.

Lights do not work. Cannot tell if it's in sleep or active mode.

Have problem with the number 5 not working. Button to turn off alarm too small. Would rather it be where the snooze is cause I never need snooze.

Display problems since new. Dell tried to fix it, but couldn't, and then refused to replace it. Now I'm stuck with a $800 paperweight.
This was my first Dell, and the last.

Isn't working to resolve the problem.
There's apparently no functionality to turn it off or change the time for weekends.
The kids messed with it and turned on an alarm for crazy early in the morning, so they definitely woke up.
The 'ok to wake' light is hard set to 30 minutes, which isn't really enough time, especially on weekends.

In reality, the real issue is that the 3 year old isn't willing to wait, and the 5 year old, who wasn't a problem before, is now getting up earlier than he was, because the light is green.  We'll keep working on it, and I'm sure there are people for whom this was the answer.

The graphics are nice, and the digital sound connects with my receiver just fine.  However, occasionally the screen won't come back from sleep or doesn't appear on startup.  It's not frequent enough to replace it, but it can be annoying to have to force shut down and restart because there's no screen.  And, as always, NVIDIA installations are a nightmare.

Tried rebooting, unplugging and replugging in the USB, but nothing comes up on the screen. The green LED on the front of the unit lights up but absolutely no response from the computer.

Great size and great display options.  Like that you can pre program two different alarm times.  BUT, two BIG problems with it:  The alarm sound is SO soft, I can not hear it most times and therefore, fail to wake up!  Yikes.  Second, when you hit the light to display the time at night, it is so faint, you can't see it.  I end up having to turn on my bedside light to check the time.

I got this clock to replace a long loved Brookstone that is no longer made.  This one does not do it and sad thing:  Packaging gone so I can't return it.  Don't make the same mistake....

a lot of fails alarms even with filters set to high. The display resets way to fast, after a beep by the time I look up at it the display is no longer showing the info on the alarm.

do not use it as alarm clock, it is too quiet..  To use it to go to sleep works, just not the wake-up.

I wanted a small alarm clock/radio that could also occasionally dock my Touch.  This one fits the checklist.  But, the controls are hard to remember and operate if you are not looking at them.  So, its probably better to use a docked device for alarms.

The blue clock display is a TOTAL FAILURE - it lacks contrast, so its nearly impossible to read in daylight and only slightly better at night.  I would have given 4 stars if it was orange like their other models.

The monitor works fine, nothing special but no problems. The BIG problem comes if you turn it off when it's not in use. The "buttons" are hidden on the vertical neck of the stand, so they are out of view if your eyes are above the bottom of the monitor (like if you stand up before turning it off, as in our case). They also aren't actually buttons, but just touch sensitive areas with very small symbols that (don't) indicate what they do, so you can't do it by feel. You actually have to bend down every time and find the right spot to touch. I got this as an auxiliary monitor for our HTPC, and wasn't expecting much. I was going to let them get away with a 'no review' rather than a negative one, but the longer I put up with it the more annoying it gets. Classic case of form over function. Very bad design.

Hate its "sleep timer" and WD doesn't provide a way to modify its settings.
