Speaking of scope screen resolution, when will those high resolution "retina" tablet displays come to scopes too? Yes it would need somewhat more processing speed, but waveform would like very crisp and and screen pixel layout would not interfere with it, no need for antialiasing.
Btw, would that used Agilent or similar one be better than these cheapest new DSOs for similar price? Yes older ones have less memory and bandwidth/sampling rate, but they looks to be much faster and better in the user interface side. What good is scope that promise the moon but are slow to use, display & UI is horrible and waveform looks crusty and jacked, no good for advanced signals. I ques good instruments age much better.
Edit: Well I obviously missed the end, where Dave said it would be worth
