My Hioki LCD is as clear as my Keysight but with a much better backlight and they entire LCD backlight flashes red with the continuity test.

Some of the photos look like the contrast isn't as good as you might like, but could just be a bad photo.

They show viewing angles at 3:45 in the promo video:



The video also shows the AC+DC+min/max features nicely.

(also has Japanese video-game style sound track  :-DD )

I've only ever seen batteries leak when they are flat, so for something in daily use probably not an issue - I do always take them out of stuff I don't use often.
Good point about the replaceability of a PP3 connector.

I have bad experience with AA and AAA cells and have seen several badly damaged instruments because of leakage batteries. Some of them were destroyed beyond repair. Last case was my Fluke VoltAlert 1AC-E II, a voltage tester for electrical stuff. Bought before 2 years, seldom used, laying in a shelf. Original AA batteries, usable until 2022. One of them was leaking and messed up the complete tester. The other was in 100% full charged condition.
Same happend with several other gear in the last time.
We are living in the year 2018 now and have still to life with leaking batteries...

On the other side I have never seen an Instrument that was destroyed from a 9V Batterie. So these cells are the most save solution and I cannot understand why some People prefer AA and AAA cells in measuremt instruments.
