That's a three-screen Dynon SkyView HDX suite in a Beech Bonanza

It’s a question we field often: My eyes are aging and I need a big display. Do I buy a Garmin or a Dynon? As one reader put it: “I got demos for each system while at AirVenture and walked away more confused than when I started.”

Part of the confusion was prompted by the autopilot upgrade, because Dynon’s SkyView HDX Certified suite was approved for his airplane, but the Dynon autopilot was not. It sent him to Garmin, where the G3X Touch and G500 autopilot were approved.
