Small touchscreen display 7-10' -> 14-16"

I'm looking for a suitable small 7-10" touchscreen display for use with LinuxCNC (lor a lathe). I plan to uses a RaspberryPI 4 that has a HDMI interface. The display will be positioned so that my eyes will be quite close ~12" from the display.

This one is cheap enough not sure if 1024x600 is compatible with axis?

or this one; 1920x1200

I have read there are some compatibility issues with some displays, so if anyone can recommend a display that is known to work well, please share the details.

Thanks

I'm not sure about axis, but I think it's compatible with most resolutions, but if you're able to find a 1920x1080 display you'll have more choice of user interfaces. For a smoother experience a Raspberry Pi 5 is a better choice.

Well after playing with a 10" display, it's okayish but not usable from a touchscreen perspective. I also played with touchy a bit, but prefer the axis GUI.

So moved things around a bit to make some space and will use a larger probably 14-16" touchscreen. I ordered a 14" Amazon BlackFriday special to try out and size is about right, unfortunately this particular display requires a full featured USB-C port to get the "touches" back and does not seem to be able to get them back with a regular type A USB interface. So the search continues.....

I do have another display related question...
Somehow I setup the axis interface on my Milling machine so that the axis GUI can occupy/share the title bar space at the top. I don't know how to do this on the new "lathe" axis GUI.  This matters because when I set the resolution to 1024x768 the bottom sliver of the axis GUI (where the status and error messages get displayed) is off screen at the bottom.

So how do I get axis to share that top title bar space?

Right click on the bar, choose preferences, then check "auto hide". Works on any task bar.
Also, USB C should work with a USB C to A adapter, but in your case only with USB A 3.n version, not with USB 2 versions.
USB 1, 1.1, 2 use 4 pins, USB 3 uses 9 pins, Type C uses 18 pins, but some are for monitor signals .... so is the USB C used for monitor and touch? If yes, then no adapter works. Cr@p, only recalled this while typing.
 

The instruction pamphlet goes on an on about the virtues of using a full featured USB-C port because no HDMI connection is required, video, touch sound all over that single connection, however Pi does not have USB-C.

The instructions then go on to state if you connect the ports in a particular order that you can get the touch working in tandem with the HDMI port but I have tried all combinations and perhaps this might work on a Windows machine (I doubt it), but looks like I need to find another touchscreen, one that does not rely on a USB-C port for the touch signals.
Thanks

Out of curiosity, how much is a RPI and a good touchscreen these days?
Wondering as i got a Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga for 120 and a Lenovo Yoga Y370 for 220, bot work for LinuxCNC with Mesa, both have 120Hz touchscreens, very high quality ones, very good keyboards, and both do over 4-6 hours on batteries.

RaspberryPi was $50 locally, the touchscreens $80-100ish Canadian pesos from Amazon. So a shade > US$100 for both. I can't vouch for the "good" WRT reliability the resolution/sharpness is decent not ipad quality but quite acceptable for a CNC machine.

hmmm, thanks for the tip. That might be a good option.

 I seem to recall comments about not using laptops because of the power saving features. Did you have to disable those in BIOS or elsewhere?
