The ones with the built-in meters are handy for TV and monitor use, but
the ones that use an external meter can also be used with a scope.

Internal meter ones are DC only, external meter ones have no such
limitation. Could be important if you think you might ever have to use
it on something like a microwave oven (NEGATIVE voltage with a large AC
component). Will also let you display ripple on a scope. Handy if
you're designing replacement HV supplies for games.
