Hello everyone. So as per my subject; anyone here with an Agilent/Keysight OLED DMM still happy with the display after 5 or more years?
It seems that these models have been around for 8-9 years now (starting with the U1253A?); so I'd imagine there should be quite a lot of quality feedback about these displays by now.
And while yes I've seen a number of threads here complaining about the display going dark, I thought I'd just try and see if there's actually any happy users after this long (since people usually only post when something breaks, haha.)
The reason for asking is I'm shopping around for another DMM, and I'm down to the Keysight U1272A (LCD) or U1273A (OLED) again.
While I'd normally go LCD no questions asked, the reason I'm considering OLED this time is because I thought that it would be nice to have at least one meter that is super easy to read from a distance and angle.
My bench is extremely wide and there are two on opposite ends of my room; occasionally I'm sitting on one (where my PC is) while simultaneously doing measurements on the other (which would be at least 2 meters behind me (more if at an angle)), and with an OLED display I can easily read the display and thus not have to bother with remote access or whatever.
Having said that I'm not willing to make this commitment if the shelf life of the DMM is going to be crap due to the OLED display since they seem to degrade even when not in use.
So if it's really bad then I guess I can just buy the U1272A (LCD) with the U1117A Bluetooth module and use my phone as a remote display, lol.
Thank you everyone in advance for any feedback
*hugs!!~*
