Frustrated With Temperature Readings

It is also telling me my 180 is at 79.9 when I think it is at around 76. All I want is an accurate thermometer, anyone know where I can get one? Anyone have troubles with the Pinpoint? Between all the crappy heaters and crappy thermometers out there, it gets very difficult to control temperature sometimes.

Yup, the Pinpoint Wireless is a piece of crap! Mine reads 1.5 degrees F too high.
