Ledger Nano: is it secure?

Suppose i am using Electrum with Ledger Nano S.
When i send a payment, i must manually enter the PIN on the USB device (source: https://ledger.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/how-to-setup-electrum-nano-slash-nano-s )

But i wonder if the Nano shows me the transaction details as well ( destination address(es), amount(s) ).
If not, i don't consider this solution very safe.

Suppose a virus on my PC acts as a man-in-the-middle when the payment command is sent from Electrum to the USB device.
The virus may change the payment destination address on-the-fly after the command goes out of Electrum wallet but before it enters the USB bus to reach the device.

Anyone of you that has a Nano and can confirm that it displays transaction info upon PIN request ?
