You can make a conventional PFD/MFD/ND screen look like a traditional/old school "six pack"/round dial/steam gage's, etc.

Round dial airspeed indicator/altimeter/full DG/HSI/VSI as opposed to speed/alt tapes, etc.

As mentioned, when SW was taking new 73's "back in the day" they were configured that way.

You can google image it to get an idea.
