Nice, thanks for the comparison. I would live pretty well with the DS2K screen size. But I need 4 channels, and can't justify the investment in a DS4K.

nice comparison.

Do you own both models ?

No, I only own the DS2000 - but I have the MSO1000Z on loan for a couple of months to make a video review.

So probably you already had the opportunity to put them side by side.

What's your personal opinion about the difference in clarity of vision among above instruments ?

Looking closely at my DS1074Z display, even with a magnifying lens, i have the impression that its panel exhibits quite low pixel sharpness, like a screen showing a rescaled image.

Even mine "el cheapo" HDG2002B's  lcd display looks A LOT sharper.

This, in conjuction with small font text, brings effort to eyes, that probaly goes unnoticed to people with perfect vision.

But unnoticed does not mean that it does not hurts ...

Well, I don't have great vision (I wear glasses) and my own personal feeling is that the DS1000Z screen is just a little too small for my comfort. It's brighter than the DS2000, but seems a little bit less sharp (although that might just be an optical illusion due to it's smaller size). I also really like the fact that you can retract the menus on the DS2000.

I tried to get a good photo of both screens together - but it's difficult due to the viewing angles, etc. So the DS1000Z screen looks slightly more washed-out than normal - and the DS2000 looks slightly smaller than normal (vertically squashed). The best thing to do is to download the original large version of the photo here - and then examine it at close range to get a better idea.

a close inspection of a cellphone image?  :scared:

seems to me 2 scopes were not set at same 'intensity' levels....and that would interest me more than fonts
