Yes.....GM integrates virtually all of the screens they sell in American-market vehicle into the dash 
....although I notice (below) that the latest second-generation Buick Encore (which is China-only, and not coming to the U.S.) got some cost-cutting inside and uses the cheaper Etch-a-Sketch design you mention.

Friend of mine has a top level Ram, and I think the interior in his truck is very nice and the large screen works well with the overall design aesthetic. I also think it’s hard to judge or critique vehicle interiors based on photos. Pictures really don’t convey any real sense of space, materials or overall feel. Sure they will give you some idea but the only way to really determine if an interior works or not is from the inside.
Fords horizontal 12" screen. AC control buttons are smaller and less convenient location than the Rams which uses larger buttons for commonly used controls like the A/C. Just looks like it takes up more space
Chevys 13.4" - even tinier and crammed buttons, elongated proportions on the screen. Would think putting the navigation map closer to the driver would be better. Maybe its a setting.
