content: I picked up a nice 27" monitor at 33% off. The 1104x-e at $425 is a good deal. I am thinking about an AWG and will have to look for a deal on one of those.

content: I needed just a real entry level scope and the SDS1104X-E on sale seemed too good to pass up for only a little more than the Rigol 1054Z.

I will be happy to have the bench space back.

content: Sometimes I think I must be the only person left who has never had Prime and sees no value in it. I already get free shipping any time I order from Amazon (typically 4-5 orders a year) by just buying enough stuff at once to get free shipping. If I want something right away I go buy it at a store.

I am still in the research stage but something tells me I missed out on a great deal there, $425 yesterday now back up to $499.Do these go on sale from time to time or do I need to wait until next year?

content: Yeah, ignore that. If I turned the page over (what a concept), then the calibration info shows, and it was 2021-04-18, so I'm good with thatG

content: Bad Photo But Other than the Tektronix 2710 SA (Plan on a SSA3021 when budget allows) it's all matching.Sadly I had to RMA the SDM3065X 6.5 DMM voltage readings were way high and error kept climbing the longer it was powered on.Arrived at Siglent NA July 19th.
