--- Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on September 18, 2022, 09:02:01 am ---I think it makes little sense to declare what is "best", as there is no such thing, only more or less appropriate for a given situation. It would probably be more interesting to show the widest variety of what's available within that budget. e.g. highest bandwidth 2-channel, most channels (analogue+digital), most protocol decoding, portable , PC-based, biggest screen etc. --- End quote --- That all comes out in the wash in the spreadsheet. The BEST title gets the clicks ;D |

--- Quote from: petrinch on September 17, 2022, 04:31:38 pm ---The issue is whether or not it makes sense to pick a single, arbitrary price range — $1 to $1000 — as the basis for comparison. Based on the discussion so far, that just seems silly. The use-cases for scopes — and the corresponding value of this or that feature — simply vary too much. --- End quote --- Historically though those "budget" title based videos have been very popular. No videos regardless of how it's done can be of value to everyone. |

Click bait is here to stay, but I've watched plenty of 10+ year old videos to learn about a product that I can now afford used, so quality content is important. Price point is a tricky metric, because of the used market or subjective reasons. I've also just hit the button and blown the budget just because I saw something I really wanted. Go ahead and make a $1k scope shootout video, but also fill it with demos of scopes above and below the price point so we can be educated on additional concepts/features we may not be focused on. Some scopes have a feature on paper, but when you enable it the scope slows down drastically, for example. Other times I don't know if there is a single right answer, for example the debate on glitch detection... |
