75 degrees = 68 degrees. No wonder I couldn’t get things to adhere well sometimes.
As a side note, the temp varies wildly along the plate base. An enclosure would definitely help here.
Has anyone else tested the actual temps versus the set/displayed temps and noticed a difference?
What the heck are you printing that requires 75C of bed temp with no walls?
A lot of printers also heat the bed unevenly, so the temperature could be significantly higher in the centre of the build plate. This video shows it fairly well. You could try adding a few minutes delay to your start gcode after the printer thinks it’s reached the correct bed temp, to let it even out a little.

Metal flex sheet is going to conduct heat differently than the Creality standard surface plus it’s shiny metal meaning it’s difficult to measure with IR If you are having issues, then up the bed heat
I think you might be using the IR gun incorrectly.
The area which is being measured may be partially off the edge of the bed.
That is wicked smaht
