How can I make it display time in EST?

Go to Kmenu/Administration/Date & Time
On the 'Network Time Protocol' tab enable NTP and under advanced options
check 'Use Local Time Source'
On the Time Zone tab, set your time zone and check the box that says System
clock uses UTC

That should get you both the advantages of UTC and display your local time
