Actually Niner, if it is halfway accurate and "easier to use" than a standard hydrometer, I am all for the hydrometer-reluctant to choose it rather than not use a hydrometer at all. I save my sarcasm for those individuals who publicly ridicule hydrometer use in general.

Us fishermen don't get no respect!

Ill post the .pdf on it. Looks interesting tho. My complaints on glass it sticktion(sp), and errant bubbles screwing up the readings. I have the same problem with my floating bulb in the reef tank and finally resorted to a refractometer because nothing was repeatable. In the cut sheet for this thing they say they addressed those exact things as priority #1

Well, if you order one, let us know how well or not so well it works.

Nope, it looks like the typical circular counter weighted hydrometers but in a better package.

Francis Freas has made the industry standard glass hydrometer for a number of years. You can buy direct from them, singly here, or buy eight of them plus shipping and give them away as Xmas gifts to your RV buddies.

A little spendy for a stocking stuffer, eh?

That'll get Mexicowanderer's ticker cranking up there near redline. Can't say I have, myself.

Wish it was easier to get to my LG brick but it's really buried. I run it 2 or 3 points off of its normal mode and it's perfectly usable depending on room lighting. I don't like the IR mostly because it's not predictable.

I actually have a thread somewhere here when I tested my Vizio. Picture brightness was very good even with the sensor on. PNick makes valid points though. Always best to look at TV's in person.
