Re: [FCP-L] New tech from Silverado - take a guess...

No. There's hardly any display customization. For color correction -
which uses many of the customized functions - it's not the greatest
scope in the world. But at about 1/5th the price of the nearest
competitor, it's definitely better than 1/5th as good.

Tektronix has a fairly inexpensive scope out for about $5,000 but it
is also not very customizable. It's definitely better than the
Ultrascope, but for 5 times the price, it should be.

You want more features, you're going to have to pay more money. I know
you, John, and you are WAY too geeky to be satisfied with the
Ultrascope. But for people who want an external monitoring solution
but don't have the $12,000 that they should PROBABLY shell out for a
good one, this is a passable solution.
