The experience of changing from good ol`steam gauges to smaller crt`s and onwards to large flatscreens can be difficult for anyone. My local flying club has seen issues/incidents with the G1000 C172 repeated over and over by pilots coming from the classic version, escpesially hard landings (by experienced pilots as well as rookies!).

Even in the train operator world has this been an issue, where lcd screens are taking over a majority of the information being displayed (like the new Stadler Flirt), scanning them correctly requires more training then the steam gauge Bm69.

The human brain can go quite numb if presented with too much info at once without knowing how to prioritize.

For the pilots sake, I hope they did everything correctly.
