That only gives you one temp reading though, you can't really gauge the temp gradient with it all that well.

How inaccurate were they shown to be? I feel like it can't be more than a degree or two off if anything.

I just like how these units give the temp range as well as humidity levels. I don't even use an acu-rite, I use this:

I'm just curious as to where your info came from. Not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to learn more.
