What type of headrest monitors?

[army5 10+ year member]

I am looking at installing some headrest monitors in my '04 escalade. I see two options.

1) Buy the factory replacements that match the interior color (shale)

2) Buy just the monitors and cut into headrest and install.

Option 1 would probably be the easiest but cost much more and the screen size appears to be limited to 7". I've seen these and they are pretty small. I would like to go option 2 and opt for a 9" screen if it's possible. My question is this. Will a 9" screen fit in the factory headrest and does anyone have any experience in cutting into the factory headrest to install the monitors? Any links to install steps of option 2 would be greatly appreciated.

FYI - I currently have a head unit that will play DVD with video/audio inputs in the back of the receiver.

I suppose this way!
