    The thing about a digital display is that you can have things display however you want. You want numbers? Fine. You want gauges? No problem. You want sliding bars and thermometer looking things? You got it. You want a time chart of values over time? Can do. You want an of the above at once? Got it.

    In theory, anyways

      Good luck getting an auto manufacturer to allow you to customise your dash lol

        Yeah, it’s mostly aftermarket ones, which is harder to do on modern cars ( I think? I haven’t actually seen anyone try to use aftermarket dash software on a built-in dash screen)

          I can’t imagine trying to flash software to my car; it would almost certainly be illegal in my jurisdiction (I can’t even retrofit LED lights on my Ford 🥲)

      If they added the options to choose what to see it would be fantastic! Most don’t though.

        Yeah, the potential of digital dashes is amazing, but the practical application of them , especially from OEMs, is pretty mid.
        Some aftermarket ones are pretty customizable though.
