Comments about Honeywell Honeywell THX9321R5000 Prestige HD Thermostat:
it works very well, but the dimming feature does not work on mine, other than that it is a very nice thermostat expensive but worth it and nice...

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell THX9321R5000 Prestige HD Thermostat:
This has a beautiful display, a laundry-list of features a mile long, is incredibly flexible in its programming abilities, I find it very easy to program and set up (more on that later), and is in a class all by itself. I looked at several other t-stats, and with the exception of the black and white version, this really is miles above the nearest competition.
My house was hit by lightning, and I had to replace my entire HVAC system. My contractor said I could pick out a t-stat, and he would install it for me. So, I picked this. This is fully programmable, touch screen, and in color. What I didn't realize was just how flexible and easy to set up it was. They packed a lot of power into an amazingly easy-to-use and friendly interface. Still, it's a programmable stat, and "techy," and some people don't like "techy." It's not as simple to use as the old dial wall stats I grew up with. But, the power you gain more than offsets the additional complexity.
I have a computer programming background, so setting up the t-stat was no problem for me. However, the contractor was a bit overwhelmed by it. The wiring is straight-forward enough, and it has connections for just about every option you could want, except perhaps an HRV/ERV. Then, you have to go into the setup menu to configure your equipment.
The contractor wired it up. Then, he turned it over to me and I programmed in the initial setup. It was easy enough, and I suspect that he could have done it, given a bit of time. It's just answering a bunch of questions. I asked him the question, he answered, I pushed the appropriate button.
That said, if you are intimidated by computers, this t-stat may not be for you. My wife is a bit overwhelmed by all its features, and she has taken to leaving setting the t-stat to me. This is OK, since I have set it to fully automatic mode. I love that I no longer have to switch between heat and cool - it just automatically does the right thing, based on the schedule. And with literally almost a dozen different override options, it's easy to temporarily alter the schedule - with a new schedule! Amazing!
So, if you like techno things, and aren't intimidated by computer technology, this is the best t-stat available. If your tech skills are limited to "twist the dial," you might want to get a simpler t-stat.
I will repeat - this is the best available, it's beautiful (it's the first t-stat I will look at just to look at it), and it is in a class all by itself. There's nothing else like it that I have seen. Highly recommended.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell THX9321R5000 Prestige HD Thermostat:
Great product that I use for a primary home thermostat. I've gone through about 4 thermostats within the last year and a half and I've finally found one that looks fantastic and works just as it should. For all my future needs I will definitely be coming back to Honeywell and ProThermostats. ProThermostats made the exchange of my first defective thermostat quick, easy and without any extra charges. I am definitely a fan...
