As posted a while back the LCD screen on the Honywell CM927 thermostat is
failing.

Pain in the butt, and now is the time to replace central heating parts
before they are needed when the cold weather returns.

The screen failure seems to be a known fault, so I am reluctant to lash
out around £100 for a replacement if it is going to fail again in another
two to three years. Then again my daughter has one and it is fine so far.

So is there an alternative wireless programmable thermostat with better
reliability and functionality for about the same price?

I don't even know if my "ideal" programmable thermostat exists, but if
it does it would display the set-point and current air temp on the
"default" screen and have only one active control in normal operation
which would be a large tactile knob, turning a rotary encoder giving
it the feel and look (other than the LCD display) of a traditional
bi-metal stat.

I currently have a "Celect" wireless programmable thermostat that has
a large clear display, and displays both temperatures simultaneously,
but also has the dreaded up/down buttons.
I wouldn't recommend it for that, and other reasons.
