What a Joke.

Hmm and why should Martin's review be dishonest ?
Martin obviously doesn't like having only one oscilloscope. He sold Siglent SDS200X Plus and Rigol MSO5000 unnecessarily :-DD

From what do you conclude that ?
Because I do not break out in complete enthusiasm about another Rigol scope?
Until now, I had always owned the scopes about which I dared to allow myself a greater judgment.
From Rigol I had DS1054Z, DS2072A, MSO5074.
For the latter I once joined the forum and if you would read my "old" posts, you would know how enthusiastic I was about the scope.
And still am, partly.
But then be equally "allowed" to be excited about the SDS2104X+.
From Siglent I had the SDS1104X-E, SDS2104X+ and now the SDS2104X+ HD.
None of the scopes mentioned is perfect, it depends on your own needs, but also expectations.
The HD, for example, is a step up from the "normal" Xplus.
But even that has features that I do not like so well, which I would like to see improved.
That's why there is also a corresponding thread for the Scope.
Plus things that can“t be improved.
I have larger newer Lecroy scopes at work to measure, so have a "higher-level" comparison of where the journey for Rigol and Siglent could go.
That's what I measure these scopes against, and to date Siglent is a little closer to that than Rigol.
And it's okay to say that without being accused of being biased or having reports cast into doubt before they've even been made.
That annoys me a bit right now. :(
Oh yes, feedback from batronix today, the HDO4204 will be shipped on monday.

I think everyone here wants Rigol to release good equipment and compete with Siglent.
It is a plus for us when companies compete with each other. Thanks to this, we have better and better equipment to buy and better prices.
Constructive criticism is to force companies to improve this equipment, because currently, both in terms of Rigol and Siglent, it is not always good with it.
Nobody does it out of malice or fanaticism towards any of the companies.

The rigol HDO4000 also and it got the same fans... ;)
And this is the point.
As the MSO5000 was launched, everyone wonders about how rigol could do that at this price.
8GSa/s, deep memory, 2-ch awg inbuild, etc etc.
The answer was simple, by using the cheapest materials around their new chipset.
Same on the HDO1000 - But also the same on the HDO4000...
The 3-times more expensive 4000 got the same quality like the 1000, same display, same fans, (nearly) same main pcb...
A bit pathetic.

More low cost options will be in the marketplace later this year. ;)

Low cost options with 12 bit?
