EleksTube IPS clock

[Robert]

Has anyone created a really convincing display for this clock

I’ve tried the provided Nixie type displays but the IPS display seems too bright and the true neon orange looks rather washed out

What about using a thin sheet of tinted acrylic ? You will need to experiment with different colors to get the right balance between brightness and contrast, but I think an orangish-tint will allow the neon-color to transmit, while attenuating the non-orange colors. Basically, a color filter.

I dont have one of those clocks, mainly because I like building my own, but the versatility of the display types is something you dont see anywhere else. That stubbornness has taken me years to get a rack full of unique clocks, and a lot of time and effort (not to mention money...). If I could have all my time and money back and replace it with an EleksTube, would I do it ? That's a question that will haunt me for years.
