My experiences with 6.5 DMM(8846A,34461A and 8808A

Hi Folks,

About 4 years ago I bought a Fluke 8846A, good meter but the dot matrix vfdisplay was absolute crap, after about 31/2 years use the display started to go flat.With the display test feature it was possible to see the 'burn', not long after I decided to Ebay it and that was the end of that.

Next I bought a Keysight 34461A, and thought it was the dogs bollocks, I liked it so much I bought another and somewhere in between I bought a Fluke 8808A(5.5 meter)

Just recently I was reading somewhere that it's nice to have dual readings on the same meter, so how about the 34461A? You can measure ACI and DCI or ACV and DCV  but you can't measure volts and current simultaneously. With the Fluke8808A you can, which I find very  usefull.

Although I had a negative experience with the Fluke 8846A, the 8808A is one good meter
