The gauges are hardly more than improved idiot lights. A mechanical gauge is needed to clearly define what temps your engine is generating.

Or, go by a mechanics shop and borrow their hand held infrared thermometer. Point it at the thermostat housing and get a good read. You said you previously were experiencing over heating problems. Did you replace the thermostat? It is possible the thermostat has failed and is stuck in the open position.
