They're just getting geared up. Don't read too much into it. We're not imminent yet.

What are the bezel and panel cut dimensions for the 10" and 7" displays?

I love aviation!
They've said previously that it will be the same cutout but different screw locations for the bottom two screws.
I am sure Dynon will chime in here, but when I observed the new 10" displays at Oshkosh they had about a 3/4" high block off panel at the bottom, underneath / behind the new angled panel, to cover the excess opening left when they removed the old skyview from their display panel...
So to clarify: The SkyView Classic / Touch cutout is large enough for the HDX, with the middle vertical screw holes unused and different positioning for the lower ones. And actually, because of the kicked out bezel, the Touch/Classic cutout is slightly too tall. For those retrofitting, we'll have a plate to fill the gap. For those of you that are planning for HDX, we'll have HDX-specific cutouts available shortly.
Is it just a bit of an illusion, or does the HDX screen have slightly more visible display real estate due to the bezel changes?
Also while the engine layout at the bottom will be welcomed by many, am I correct in assuming this is simply an additional feature but the HDX plans to retain all or most of the existing PFD/MAP/ENG page layout flexibility?

They're very slightly different (getting dimensions from the engineering team). The 10" is a touch taller and narrower, but we're talking small fractions of an inch. The aesthetic is definitely more "open" though, so I think that's some of the effect.
The bottom band is indeed an additional feature (that we suspect most people will use). HDX has a different screen paradigm for the PFD/MAP/EMS pages though. If you want everything on one screen at the same time, you'll need to use the bottom band on HDX. To do a 50/50 split-screen, there's a really quick way to choose what is on the split screen that is both different and more intuitive than SkyView Classic and Touch. We'll be showing off more of the specifics shortly, but we're pretty excited about the HDX interface.

Update here. These are viewable area dimensions. Note that they're incredibly close, with millimeters of difference.
10" SkyView Classic/Touch/SE: 221.80mm x 131.52mm
10" SkyView HDX: 216.96mm x 135.60mm
7" SkyView Classic/Touch/SE: 152.40mm x 91.44mm
7" SkyView HDX: 149.76mm x 93.60mm
10" SkyView Classic/Touch/SE: 221.80mm x 131.52mm
10" SkyView HDX: 216.96mm x 135.60mm
7" SkyView Classic/Touch/SE: 152.40mm x 91.44mm
7" SkyView HDX: 149.76mm x 93.60mm
Looking into it. We may have a scaling error in the catalog (they're not templates, by the way. Please don't cut your panel to them)
So the above numbers are correct on the LCD viewable area. And the outer dimensions on both in the panel planner are right. The picture of the screen on the panel planner is a bit optimistic though. It turns out we went to print with the brochures before we had drawings available (and conforming prototypes finished), so those graphics were more or less a rough estimate based on some earlier design renderings.
