10.25″ vs 12.3″ vs OEM Carplay/Android Auto screen

Have any of you installed these displays? Which size did you go with? I like the idea of looking at the map and YouTube on a 12.5 screen, but because it's the same 720p, it would probably look pixelated. 10.25 looks neat but on a smaller side. I wish both of them were 1080p at least.

There's also an option for retrofitting the OEM screen, it has worse colors and no touch.

So I got the 10.25 INAV for GLK 350, there's no need for more, it fits the intended space on the dash proportionally. Oh man, that's one weird piece of an Android software, they have some strange customizations, such as the Bluetooth being a button that connects to a phone only. There's no auto brightness, I had to use the Automate app to run a script to make the screen dim at sunset and go 100% brightness on sunrise. The Wi-Fi connects to phone's hotspot at the start for 2 seconds and then shuts down, you have to manually enable it again (edit: for WiFi, you have to go to a factory settings and uncheck Zlink, if you are not using Android Auto)
