Rigol DHO814 or Siglent SDS1104X-U
(1/6) > >>

After nearly 30 years in service, my trusty old Tektronix TDS210 is on its deathbed and I will need a replacement soon.

I have narrowed it down to Rigol DHO814 or Siglent SDS1104X-U. They both have all the features I need and many that will be nice to have. I am leaning towards Rigol because it has more of the nice to have features, even though it is about $75 more.

Does anyone have any opinions about the quality/reliability between the two brands?

Any opinions on the usability/speed of the two user interfaces?

Finally, any opinions about the real-world performance, the actual reason to buy the scope!

The 1104X-U seems likely to be an evolutionary dead end... if you're looking at a Siglent, the SDS804X HD is just barely more expensive list price, and much more comparable to that Rigol.

The Rigol/Siglent question in general is just going to attract advocates and fans on both sides.

This topic has been done to death. Siglent 12bit wins when anybody is being honest. 😉

Quite okay DSO but with limited capability compared to others.

As member abeyer points out SDS800X HD offers the most capability in low cost DSO's and the fine work here from Performa01 explores these features:

Thanks.

Maybe I should have started with a less divisive question, like which is the one true religion  :) :) :)
