Agreed and I like the Fluke meters. I have one personally and I insist on
them professionally.
It's totally black for half the
height, I asusem the liquid crystal material has
leaked out (although the
glass is not obviously cracked or broken).
Something that I have seen on multiple occasions with Fluke meters is a
problem with the conductive polymer bridge between the circuit board and the
LCD glass. Usually pressing on the case in the right spot makes the display
normal.
I don't think I have seen the display behave as you describe. Usually it
causes dim segments.
