There is a lot of items comming from China now. Some seems ok and some
not. Ran across this about the companies making two versions. One using
low quality parts and another using higher quality parts for venders
that want a better quality produit at a highe price.

Any truth to this or just advertising ?

The only way to tell for sure is to buy one from Circuit Specialists and one through Alibaba or ebay based on price, then compare them.

I have no information one way or the other, but years ago when manufacturers made product for specific buying groups, they would distinguish any variances with a unique model number, or at the very least a suffix code or letter. Samsung in fact used to add a single letter on the same line but a bit away from the model number that would show which LCD display was installed.. An "S" after the model number would indicate a Samsung display and a C would indicate a Chungwah (can't recall the exact name) display.

But since Hantek is based in China, all bets are off.
