I have two analog voltmeters and thought what the hey, go modern, get a digital, so I did.
Ended up giving it away. WORTHLESS!!!! The numbers just kinda randomly jumped all over the spectrum!
Gimme dials and knobs any day of the week...
There are good and bad implementations of digital.
The problem is, it takes money and complexity to do digital readouts for analog information RIGHT. I won’t bore you with all the details, but suffice to say, it can be done correctly and well, but not cheaply.
As we like to say in engineering: “You can have it fast, cheap or easy. Pick two.”
One of the best voltmeters you can still get for general electrical work is the Simpson 260 or 270 series of VOMs. Built like a brick outhouse, they continue to deliver reliable readings. The 270 series is just a more accurate 260.

As for digital voltmeters: I use nothing but Fluke, and most any Fluke DVM is going to run you at least $200, new. I refuse to bother with any of the chi-com $5 to $20 DVM’s.
