We've got a GroEgg and our monitor, an Angel Care Sound and Movement, has the temp too. I can't believe what others have told you about the GroEgg!! Ours is awesome and as good as new - DD is 17 months old this week! Too bright? No way!! The light on her monitor is far brighter and even that's not bright but good enough to find your way in the wee hours of the night. The temp on our Egg has always been accurate and in line with our monitor AND the aircon in DD's room - three thermometers all stating the same temp surely can't all be wrong! I'd highly recommend a GroEgg.
