Dibbs and gatto, I agree with both of you. I've been in electronics all of my life and dealt with Hz on a daily basis. So, for me, Hz has more meaning. However, I can understand where a "cents" reading is certainly easier to deal with for a musician.

By the way, according to the following article by D'Addario, there are two types of tuners...a "sweep" tuner and a "strobe" tuner. Succinctly stated, the basic Korg is a sweep tuner and takes longer to stabilize at a reading because a lot of "math" is going on inside the unit. "Strobe" tuners are instantaneous and are more accurate. http://www.daddario.com/upload/MNED_PM_laird_picking_tuners_17168.pdf

Concerning meter accuracy, Korg has an advertised "tone accuracy" of +/- 1.5 cents https://www.korg.com/us/products/tuners/ca_1/page_1.php whereas the Peterson Strobe Tuner has a tone accuracy of +/- 0.1 cent accuracy. https://www.petersontuners.com/ (See ad for StroboClip HD, center of page on the left side.)

"In tune" or "out of tune"...that appears to depend upon the individual listener's hearing capability. For a discussion on this, I recommend reading: https://forum.saxontheweb.net/archive/index.php/t-52400.html
