Their promo link doesn't work unfortunately. I'm quite pleased with Thai bargain. Work our cheaper than 40Mhz version.

I was considering Rigol 2000 series, but their black gear just doesn't look right and hey Silent has a better specs. Any idea what is the black gear all about? Just speculation, white gear gets dirty? Maybe to distinguish Rigol gear? Anyways new Siglent 2000 Plus scopes look great, they are next in line.

Black instruments always make me think there isn't enough display contrast or backlight in the design.

Maybe black is the new black.

Hope not. Black trim around display on Keysight or Siglent scopes is kinda best of both worlds IMHO.
