Need a *NICE* digital wall clock

I'm trying to find a nice digital wall clock that auto-sets itself. This is for the livingroom so the digits must be easy to read from a distance. Ideally, the clock would have a blue display and auto-dim depending on the amount of ambient light.

The closest thing I can find is the 3M Precision Clock. However, this doesn't seem to be illuminated, which makes reading it more difficult when the room is pitch-black. We have a projector in the livingroom, so we watch TV and movies with the lights off.

Any suggestions? Price range is between $1 and $150. 🙂
 
I always thought you weren't supposed to have a clock in the living room. Some sort of archaic Dear Abby etiquette rule or something like that.
 
Thanks for the suggestions thus far! The Nixie is too spendy and borderline ugly, IMHO. The Sharp may be considered. 🙂

Haha, it's a gift for a roommate. He doesn't believe in analog time pieces. 🙁 I guess they make him think too much! 😛 Personally, I'd go for a nice Seiko...
 
I just got a nice Casio watch and duck taped it to my wall in the living room. Hard to read though. Very classy though....

I used to be surprised to run into people who couldn't tell time on a non-digital clock. Over the years, I've noticed the frequency seems to be increasing. I'm no longer surprised.

OP: there are clocks with hands that will automatically synchronize themselves.

I've seen nicer clocks than that, but I dont know if they had a backlight.
My mother was just looking at one, let me email her and see what she got.
