Why do we want fast continuity detection in a multimeter?

For swiping pins you basically need less than 1 millisecond response time. Even a 1 millisecond pulse to a buzzer will produce an audible 'click' and that is what is needed when swiping pins.

So, if no one knows whether Zotek has a meter with similar display but better continuity testing...
BTW, can someone please remind me that abbreviation they use for that type of display?

Can anyone tell me if there's another brand of meter with that type of display that has speedier continuity testing? I'd prefer something about $USD 70.00 or less.

It is hard to find non photoshopped picture, but from what I can tell it is a simple inverted LCD with backlight. The inversion does not really add anything, and it is a gimmick mostly used by cheap meter to appear "cool". This is why there are no opinions on them - nobody can buy and try all that junk.

Backlight is the useful part here, it does make display more readable. And if you just focus on finding a good meter with backlight, it is likely to work for you.
Hogwild:
I saw this meter beside others that had strong backlights. It was not even close. As I said earlier upthread, I'm a bit of an unusual use case, as I have some vision loss due to disease.
ataradov:
Well, they may have cranked up the backlight. Backlight is often a weak point, since it is the primary power drain. The type of display is still inverted LCD with backlight. Whether another meter exists with backlight that strong - hard to tell.
