| Is Rigol DS1054Z still a good option in 2019? |

I am calm enough, thanks. My main point is that the cinemascope display ratio is not actually desirable on a scope. It seems pretty clear that these displays are used because they are widely available and cheap. But for displaying multiple traces on top of each other they are actually a bad choice -- especially when combined with wide bands of status displays and controls at the top and bottom of the screen, which reduce vertical screen real estate even more. |

Cinematic displays are horrible on a PC too unless they are large enough size. |

The number of grid squares on the screen is pretty irrelevant in my opinion. I do like 10, since it makes it trivially easy to tell the total time of the displayed sweep. You brought up the "16:9" topic. The fact that Rigol's grid boxes are squashed is a direct consequence of the widescreen display, and the even wider/lower display area for the traces, of course. They just squashed 8x10 divisions into the available space; on the DHO800 they are even more compressed than on the DHO1000. Again, I don't think the proportions of the grid matter much, but the limited overall vertical space does. |
