The number of people on here who seem to think that an analog instrument cluster is connected directly to the things they’re displaying, rather than connected to the ECU computer.
Or that a PWM servo motor is more reliable than a screen. News flash: if you lose power to either, you aren’t able to read it.
An well designed analog guage is easier to read out the corner of your eye, or at a quick glance. But that really only matters if you’re racing, and even then it’s dubious.
A poorly designed digital guage can be distracting at night, if they use a screen tech that has poor black levels, or have lots of bright elements on the screen at night. It basically shines a light at your face and interferes with your night vision. But most manufacturers are better than that, these days, it’s not much different than the light that illuminates your analog gauges.
So really it’s personal preference, and some people like to justify their preference with bullshit so that they can feel superior. YMMV.
