Default Digital Guage Cluster - Is it just the center display, or are all 3 sides digital?

Well folks, you understand my question.

I can't tell if it's just the center screen that is digital, or is it also the speedometer to the left and the other guages to the right?

Pretty stupid question considering the cluster is only 8 inches (I've never seen specifics if this is a diagonal or horizontal measurement), its just that, in some screenies of the dash, the center guage is lit up while there's nothing "on" on the left and right, esp the pictures @ NetCarShow.

Any insight would be just ducky.

I think it is the center only. What I am waiting to hear is what all shows up on the console screen.

It's an 8" diagonal HD display. The gauges on either side of it are regular mechanical/non LCD gauges that get their signals digitally.

Instruments are displayed in either analog or digital format the method of displaying them doesn't change the format. You can use analog needles or bar graphs or thermometers or you can use numbers (digital format). The speedo on the left is an analog instrument. The center section is an electronic display (not a digital display). It has a combination of digital and analog instrumentation. For instance the tach is an analog instrument. From what I can see there is a digital speedo on the center display.

I think oil, coolant and oil temps are digital in the track mode but might be in analog format with some of the other settings.

There are an analog speedo, fuel gauge, and coolant temp gauge in semicircles on either side of the 8" screen.
