Re: why I will be going digital for christmas

Digital doesn't mean it will be more accurate. It is the sensing device that relays the information - whether it be by a meter gauge or LCD display. I have owned both and it was the "digital" one that was inaccurate

it is true that a digital thermometer can be inaccurate, electronics are just as susceptible to damage or errors during manufacture as anything else on this planet.

other than that, your comment is not actually helpful, because most of the time, a digital thermometer, will be more accurate than a dial thermometer, pretty much every single time.

the only thermometers which are consistently more accurate than digital, even cheap digital, is mercury
