I have found a good source on lab instruments to be Hanna Instruments.

They make all types of instruments from pocket to sophisticated high
end.
Their catalog gives accuracy, prices, and more. I have been happy with
several Hanna instruments. Their instruments are also rugged. A quick
look in their catalog shows relative humidity meters from $80 through
$800.
The $80 pocket model ("Hydrocheck") measures 10% to 90% RH at a
resolution of 0.1% RH and an accuracy of +-3% full scale.

LCD display of RH
