Indeed, I am guilty of replying before reading thoroughly. I too would
disagree with the assertion that SENDERS are inaccurate. I probably should
have indicated that the only inaccurate sender situation I've ever seen had
everything to do with the wiring and the electrical connection. I'm sure the
thermistor in the sender was fine. Thermistor resistance curves are well
understood. Even the shoddiest run of thermistors from the least reputable
manufacturer will EASILY get you 1degC accuracy. The variable parallax from
your head wobbling on your neck will give you more than 1degC variation when
viewing a 90 degree deflection gauge.

Typical OEM gauges use far less accurate methods of displaying temperature.

Yes, oh yes, as anyone who's ever opened up an OEM gauge and seen how they
work can attest.
