But what’s this about the sampling rate? I thought they were both 1GSa/s (max). Does the Instek not lose sampling rate as more channels are turned on.
The 4ch GW has the same ADC layout as SDS2004X; 2x 2GSa/s ADC's that offer 2GSa/s with 1 channel active on each ADC or 1GSa when all channels are active. What the GW lacks vs SDS2000X models is significantly less memory.
In case you'd missed it for SDS1004X-E, they have the same dual ADC configuration but the memory setup is a little different. They have two blocks of 14 MPts, one for each ADC.
Totally aware of the bigger screen. Surprising what difference an extra inch makes.

Yep, if you were to use it all day you'd want the bigger display.
Still the background, fonts and trace colors of the little Siglent offer enough contrast that you can still use it in bright sunlight.
Happy hunting.
BTW, just seen your other comments.
Next week when you're in front of your SDS2104X, yank the Multipurpose knob off and fit one of the bigger ones from elsewhere on the front panel.

Really the factory should've made that simple and easy improvement by now.
