Talk:Electronic instrument cluster

Another problem?
Another problem that I believe many drivers had with digital displays was that, unlike analog displays, it was not possible to take just a quick glance at the gauge to determine the actual reading. For example, on a 120-mph analog speedo, 60 mph is shown with the needle pointing straight up. A driver doesn't have to look closely at the instrument to see how fast he's going; all he has to do is notice with little more than his peripheral vision that the needle is pointing straight up to tell that he is going 60. Similarly, with a bit of practice, any other speed reading in the 30-70 mph readout can usually be estimated fairly accurately without the driver taking his eyes off the road for more than a small fraction of a second. But with a digital speedo, the driver has to take quite a bit more time to focus on the green digits and realize that they're showing 60 mph as opposed to 45, 50, 75, or any other reading.

Similar issues are likely to affect drivers who may prefer to use an analog tachometer to coordinate upshifts or, perhaps more importantly, rev the engine to more smoothly execute downshifts. Any information regarding this or any issues should be investigated and, if there is encyclopedic information available, incorporated into the article. 64.85.240.22 (talk) 05:47, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

And the analog counterpart?
If there is an "Electronic instrument cluster" article, why is there not an "Analog instrument cluster" article? George Rodney Maruri Game (talk) 23:53, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
