I have an infrared that I can take with me to compare the TPMS with infrared.

Good. You're looking for changes relative to normal operation, so once you have a baseline of bearing/brake/tire temps when everything is working as it should, its easy to quickly identify anything unusual.

I inflated to 75 lbs cold.  On the road never saw pressure go above 82 psi temp 90.  The pressure I was reading with the TPMS agreed with my digital airpressure guage.  Temp agreed with my infrared with in a degree or two.  So I would say the TPMG was a success.  I unscrewed a sensor and the alarm went off immediately so the rapid air loss alarm works.  If you get one you have to make sure you have the display unit turned on when you screw on the sensors so they "connect" this isn't in the instructions.  I didn't drive at night to see the backlight but the readout doesn't have great readability because the screen is shiny and reflects and it makes it hard to see if you don't adjust to an angle to avoitd the reflection.  Overall I like it.
