[Tig] Scopes

[pmendelson]

LCD scopes?
The Omnitek is a rasterizer and you can feed it to any sort of monitor you
like.
I think you'll find you can get all the detail (and as many views of the
signal you are monitoring) you need, and I'm curious how the ones you've
seen have been set up.

My 2 cents is that no matter how well a picture monitor is set up, viewer
fatigue and other subjective conditions make it relative at best.  There is
no substitute for the absolute data that a 'scope' will provide, to know
with certainty what your signal is doing, whether it's video or not.
