Well, I was thinking of getting a cheap thermometer. I was wondering if there is a major difference between something really cheap, and something less cheap.

Basically, is it like clock, where you can one for a few quid and it'll most likely give you the right time give or take something insignificant?

I just want to get one to check the ambient temp of my room. It need not be accurate to the 0.1 degrees celcius, although to the nearest degree would be good.

Ya, kinda cheesy, but it's under a fiver.
