bench multimeter for someone learning
NoisyBoy:
I feel like we are jumping too far in the recommendation when so little is known about the need, use case, and budget. Perhaps the OP can share more so the community can make a better recommendation.
GigaJoe:
suggesting FLUKE 45
dual display ; min\max ; REL ; diode ; FREQ ; 5.5D ; reasonable accuracy
reasonable price around 120 - 160 USD , hunting on ebay, need to look at display brightness

Very possibly the person thinking about buying the meter actually knows less about what he needs than us random lot of kibitzers.
J-R:
If the 34461A fan noise doesn't mesh with your other equipment, then a common mod is a Noctua fan. It doesn't impact the calibration from my testing. I used the 20mm thick one personally, and actually lowered the speed even a bit more to make it nearly silent.
The Fluke 45 has a serial port and Test Controller support (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/program-that-can-log-from-many-multimeters/), so that is somewhat compelling. No 4-wire or rear jacks, though.
Looking at the OP's other posts it seems they are mostly interested in the bleeding-edge cheap stuff, so I don't think the old pro gear is what they are looking for.

Can run for any amount of time without turning off
4 terminal ohm
Can be read and logged from a computer.
Easy readable display (Display with lights are much easier to read on my bench that low contrast LCD meters).
Good precision (I use 6½ and 7½ meters). In most cases it is not very important.

You can get all that from a meter with Siglent written on it.
So, the OP is looking for something budget friendly and you are touting $1500+++ Keithley or Shitsight instruments? :-//
Whatever. 7.5 digits? :palm:
I would imagine any of the Siglents are already out of his price range.
