Airspeed Awareness

OK.....I'm showing my age but, what do you call these 'new' airspeed indicators, a PFD or something? Everything's on one instrument now! Anyway, they are NOT pointer style indicators "like we used to have" in the way back. There's lots of talk here about not noticing the speed decay. I'm wondering it it isn't harder to notice speed decay with this 'newer' style vs the pointer syle we used to have. I'm betting the newer ones are harder to spot speed changes. Thoughts?
