Analog or Digital Hygrometer?

[bennett88]

Hi was looking at analog/digital hygrometers... was wondering if one is really that much better than the other? and whether its worth 4 times the price for digital?


Thanks!!

I got a digital one that was a thermometer too, I got it off eBay and only payed $15 but have seen them cheaper... Shop around if u want digital.

u can get digital one from china for 2 bucks delivered and they will work within 1.5 c accuracy, analogs most of the time take longer to read and are bigger than digital ones

1.5c? A Hygrometer works in %?

Just wanted to bump this thread...

I'm looking at hygrometers and want to know if the analog ones work as well as digital ones? There are heaps of analog ones for $1 on eBay and while I know you get what you pay for, is it one of those things that is fairly basic and doesn't necessarily have to be expensive to work well?

digital, its precise!

Analog relies on reading from the right angle.

Like general parallax error or do I need to hold my head a certain way?
