I think newer Airbus aircrafts have CDU's that have a more advanced GUI.

looks like the A380. Is the overhead panel really a screen ? It looks
like a big LC Display...
yes it is, but not in the actual aircraft - many of these preview
pictures are based on computer generated images for media purposes,
on the other hand there are also simulators being developed that
cannot yet make use of the real hardware and hence seem to use
a workaround - using a LCD (touchscreen) as the overhead panel
does reduce development costs, you don't need to use -not yet existing-
hardware but can rather display a basic representation of the controls
that are supposed to be available and can easily integrate an interface
with the rest of the simulator components, but there are more recent
pictures of the A380 available at airbus.com.
