Thermometer Brands - What's Accurate?

[nightsong13]

Hello all,
My Acu-Rite digital indoor/outdoor thermometer with probe died, and before I get a new one I wondered if there are any other brands you've found to be accurate, and where you can buy them. Reason being, I don't live a conveniently close distance to a Wal-Mart, so it would be very out of my way to go there - and from what I can tell Wal-Mart is the only brick-and-mortar store that actually sells the $10 Acu-Rite thermometer.

If the Acu-Rite from Wal-Mart is the best for its price, not a big deal, just wanted to see if there was another store I could try that is nearer to where I live.

Thanks!

P.S. - No, it wasn't the battery in my thermometer - I'd recently changed it, and when the screen went blank I tried changing it again, no luck. The screen stayed blank.

I use a zoo med thermometer with a prob. It was $10 at Petsmart. It is prett accurate and it has a long cord so I ca easily measure temps in different locations.
