And if you were in Antartica, as some denizens of this forum claim, shipping would be even more expensive. So what?! Ditto the more realistic example of Brazil.

From that we can infer you didn't bother to read the part of my post that you snipped. Unimpressive.

Of course, directors and set techs have no idea of how to use any scope let alone a DSO.  ::)

Yet if the chap they hired one from spends a minute getting it to do something rather than be a wall hanging it can become near the centerpiece of the shot:

i dont mind movie prop, but i wonder when human can travel in hyperspace, they still use CRO to find and lock radio frequency, go watch Star Wars Rogue One if you dont believe me.

I didn't try to impress you. Impressing anonymous people in faraway lands holds very little value to me.
No, I simply did not understand what you wrote...  What "more realistic example of Brazil" are you referring to... I don't see any example. And Antarctica comment plays in my favour not yours..  Hence confusion on my side..
And I did say where my statements did not apply. And said that I agree in UK is as you say. And that, exactly as you, I said that experience in your country is no indicator whatsoever of other countries. So, again, confusion. We basically agree in principle, it is not the same in every country. This discussion has happened many times before. People from many countries across globe said same as I did: it is not so easy..

To make sure , I'm NOT against CRT scopes or people that like them. I also think there are many types of work where they are good enough to do the job. And if you like them and can get a good one for a good price and you know the limitations, go for it by all means. If you have a good one, don't throw it away. These are nice machines that are still useful... And if they are enough for you that is awesome..

But to a question by OP: no, no good CRT scopes are still being produced and no there is no application where CRT scope would be better (in sense : is there a job in electronics that cannot be done with DSO). And yes there are  literally dozens of types of work that could not be done with CRT scopes, but are easily done with a DSO...

There is a reason they are not being made anymore. Nobody needs them for real work...DSOs are more useful. And apparently not that hard to learn, as evidenced by God knows of how many millions of DSO users...

For hobby users, they do as they please. It doesn't have to be best or most rational thing.

But to a question on a car forum "What is a good, simple, reliable car that you recommend me to buy?" best answer is not "WV Beetle".. Even if there could be few around that are being kept in working condition and are registered and driving..

An example of when a CRT CRO was a necessary prop for a movie plot: in "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun" (aka "Doppelgänger") from 1969, I immediately knew something was amiss when the Tektronix 541 oscilloscope had its CRT in the upper right corner of the panel.
