Title: Has anyone ever heard of EZ Digital?
Post by: Mr. Scram on October 23, 2017, 10:09:48 pm

Browsing the web, I chanced upon this outfit. Apparently they still make or sell analog oscilloscopes, amongst other gear. It seems they are based in Korea and were at one time part of LG.

It there any specific market that still requires these analog oscilloscopes? They don't seem to have any remarkable properties, nor are they cheap. Or is it a matter of a company that hasn't done much the past 10 years, as their own history seems to reflect? Has anyone heard of this company before?

We used to see a fair amount of 'Goodstar', 'EZ Digital', and another branding that I can't recall.  They were the cheap alternative before the Chinese manufacturers took off, and I believe a lot of rebranding used their instruments.

They are pretty solid pieces of kit, but are not sophisticated.
