Only post here if it's about my video specifically, thanks.

I don't have technically a lot to comment on this model of scope, except that I think the industrial design department is a bit lacking. We can rage about the spaceship look of some asian brands (looking at you Rigol), but this scope looks like it just transitioned from CRT vintage to new fancy LCDs, but to accommodate them they needed huge borders/frames  around the screen.
It almost looks like they were aiming to have a larger diagonal screen but it didn't work out, so they stuck in the inner black frame to fill the big gap in the enclosure.

Just look at what the most modern models of Rohde&Schwarz (MXO 4), Tektronix (MSO 24), or heck even Siglent (e.g. SDS2104X) are doing with their front panel design. So much sexier!

But these scopes were always meant to be workhorses, not lookers. So if it delivers in that department I guess we can forgive it. :)

SWB:
Thank you very much for getting this video out so quickly! I think you were probably one of the last YouTubers to receive yours, and yet as far as I can tell, you're the second one to get a video out. Lots of detail for such a quick turnaround, as well.

Bloch:
Before you look at this video and think you need it, remember it costs the same as a new car!
