PFDs present TAS as a scrolling "tape measure" plus a larger digital readout of current speed. Scrolling direction should tell pilot the speed change trend - up or down. Not sure if rate meters are also at the pilots disposal which would read 0.0 if speed is constant or plus XX or minus YY if changing.
