Kiriakos I have purchased that LCR meter (only 2 options-the tweezer and the other with crocodiles- and the meter itself). But the backlight does appear nowhere as bright as on your pic (I mean the 9th pic from the top). Is this the effect of the lighting or of the camera or my unit is not good?
How does it look when there is no light. It is nowhere as bright as the backlight of a Fluke 87V in the darkness for example.
Thank you.

Kiriakos GR:
Back-light brightness in all DER EE meters up to date is a soft blue tint, yes in the picture it does seem brighter than what it is.

In my workshop I use only white fluorescent lights day and night, because sun light can not get that far inside were my workbench is.
But either way, when I am planning Back-light comparisons between different meters I am trying harder in setting the camera so to demonstrate more accurately the differences.

DE-5000 has three LED in line across at the bottom of it display, if you do not see any shadows there, then all of them are working.

In that specific picture there is two sources of light, the Back-light among with indirect light coming from the side (fluorescent lights).
If you look closely around the display you will note the difference.

z4567:
Right! The upper and the right side blue border "strip" is the real backlight;)
Or may be not...

z4567:
Here are the pics I have just taken.
It appears that I have the same brightness as you but in darkness the colors appear darker to the eye than to the camera.
I think this device has a dimmer backlight than the Flukes for example. Not a problem for me because I almost never use backlight to save battery life.
When it is dark, the backlight does not look to the eye as a soft color, as it appears to be on the pic. It is darker.

And you don't have the protective film.

z4567:
By the way there is no way to measure large capacitances such as 6800 uF or 10.000 uF at 1 kHz or 10 kHz or 100kHz.
I can only measure them at 100 Hz or at most 120 Hz I think.
Could you confirm that?
