Are there any reliable ones on the market? I am tired of squinting at the old mercury thermometer.

I use a Ranco controller. Controls your heaters, fans and chillers to boot. It's commerical grade and apparently rock-solid.

Just shell out $100 bucks and get the Reefkeeper Lite. It comes with a controllable power bar and temp probe.
