PFD indication of VS
Regardless of the relative merits of tape altimeters and the one-rev-per-thousand-feet needle, don't forget that the VS indicator is right next to the altitude tape, and is similar to a traditional VS needle. IIRC, the angle of the green needle increases up to 3000 ft/min** up or down, with a digital value in hundreds of ft/min adjacent to it. After that, it turns amber.
** [Edit] That should probably be 6000 ft/min.
