I overlaid the Rigol waveform on the Siglent waveform in a single image. As you can see they're identical when you view the wave with the same settings.
Identical? This is total false.
Huh? Add a twist of the brightness knob and a tweak of the probe compensation and those two are identical.
Rigol construction is cheapest possible:
1ADC1MEM/4
Siglent 4 channel construction is semi cheap:
1ADC1MEM/2 + 1ADC1MEM/2
And this is reflected in the price. No official price yet but so far it seems like it will cost about $250 more.
(And given that the Rigol is currently selling for $328, that's a lot more...)
"Huh? Add a twist of the brightness knob and a tweak of the probe compensation and those two are

False. Period. As told, signals are far away from equal if you compare your image and then this. Perhaps need some basic education.
27th Nov you can see (and surprice) what is real true price for SDS1104X-E what is somehow "comparable" with hacked Rigol DS1054Z if think alone frequency BW and count of channels.
But as told many times. Siglent is far over this Rigol if look measurement performance. Far over.
This is natural. Also Siglent price is higher. Rigol this model is quite old and with very limited brute force for handling signal and features.
In Europe Batronix is one trusted distributor, also with 30 days free return.
DS1054Z offer price, including tax. Most individual citizens need buy with tax here in well developed countries. Offer price EUR 379,- Including 19% VAT.
27th Nov you can look here and surprice. but yes there is still difference in price but this price difference is really tiny if think how much more it give. Of course if user do not need more than Riglol then he buy Rigol and if it meets his needs he can be happy with it, buy cheap and you get cheap. Simple. If have only tiny needs Rigol give lot of scope for playing. If need more, then pay bit more and get more:
