Upgrading the Idrive Screen - Possible?

So I just got a 2014 M5 and traded in my 2016 M4 for it. I love the car much more than the M4, but one thing that I noticed that was better on the M4, was the quality of the screen. I play videos through the screen and on the M4 they looked a lot more crisp (HD). The videos on the M5 look a lot worse (same exact usb stick), and the screen looks like it is in need of Contrast. I am guessing that the 2016 M5, must have the better screens (probably same as my M4 had). Is it possible to get an updated screen from BMW? I tried to search online for a while, but cannot find anything that would indicate this was done by someone on an f10. It would be awesome if I can upgrade the screen, so that it can be as good quality as the M4 was. I am surprised that aftermarket companies do not make screens for this car. Even my 2003 x5 has a navigation with hulu and netflix, and HD quality (aftermarket). Unless I am just not able to find anything.

The '16 F82 has upgraded Nav Unit hardware (ID4++ HU_NBT2/EVO, 2GB ram, Apix1 Monitor with 18 bit color depth).
The '17 F82 got another (software/hardware) upgrade (ie ID5 H-H2, Double ram, Apix2 Monitor with ↑ 24 bit color depth).

They both have 8.8" 1280x480 resolution.

The 2014 F010 M5 should be LCI. So no difference between '14 and '16.

You would need adapter if you were to use newer apix screen due to voltage differences.

Even my F010 & F015 have different generation hardware & settings. My F010 uses can vs my F015's apix HUD generation. Both use 10.25" screen with 1280x480 resolution, but my F15 has the glass screen.
