content: Guys. I want to buy an oscilloscope. Chosen the best from price/quality Rigol 1054Z. Unfortunately, I can't beat myself. It has PINK controls. Oh my god, who that little shy girl who invented pink color in professional equipment? I know Chinese people are "alternative", and love different sick things like vivid acid colors, hentai tentacles and so on, but why in oscilloscope, why. I can't afford normal things like Keysight, only these cheap.... I'm so upset (

content: perhaps you want your oscilloscope to sing patriotic songs and look like it was removed from an old flack track?

content: I can live with the pink.The two slightly different shades of blue is just bloody stupid though.I like my TDS210. You can have any colour you want as long as it's black.

content: Quote from: chipinheart on December 09, 2018, 07:45:56 pmTentacle erotica is Japanese, with roots in the beginning of 1800 or earlier, not Chinese.The two cultures are quite different (IMHO), and mixing them up is probably going to be offensive for one or both, also due to their history.On the 1054Z panel there are only two tiny smudges of pink, and the actual trace colour is definitely Magenta.Quote from: chipinheart on December 09, 2018, 07:45:56 pmMaybe some tentacle hentai could help?Quote from: bd139 on December 09, 2018, 09:54:31 pmI've seen a number of comments lamenting this choice, I have to say that, to my eyes, they are as different as, e.g., a green and a yellow trace could be.
