777 Premium Economy divider to Economy Class?

I was surprised to see in this video that there is a divider between the Premium Economy and Economy Class cabin. I thought that this was only the case in 787 aircraft with the 777's having no divider between these two cabins.

Is this changing or is this only on certain 777's the case?

There is a divider on 777s but I've never seen it closed after several flights.

I've posted these and other similar photos in the other 777 thread. These were taken a year ago.

Thanks everyone, I always thought it would be like this as advertised originally by AC but I admit, I haven't flown a 777 for quite a while and it looks like it has changed over the last couple of years.

This is the old cabin pre-refurb. Someone else posted it in the other 777 thread and assumed it is how the cabin looks now.

I'm sure this is not the pre-refurb photo posted by (yvrcnx) but is the the refurb cabin on 77W (28J-24O-398Y) 450Pax it has no divider..
something to do with toilet position so Y pax can use them...

The other Photo from (24left) is 77W (40J-24O-336Y) 400 Pax it has a divider and different seats.

Please correct me if I'm wrong....

This is the cabin of the 777HD pre refurb. However these 5 777s do not have dividers between PE and Y on the ABC and HJK sides even after refurb

Upholstery has changed - seat frames are the same. Seat cushions are now the more comfortable ones found on the 787s. The entertainment system is still the old, slower, low resolution version.

I was on AC008 recently. There is absolutely no divider between PE and Y on the 777UltraHD (Layout 2 International 777 on AC website). The PY seats have been upgraded, but the IFE is the older system. In flight service in PY was rushed, and I don't blame the FAs as there are up to 398 passengers in Y. My outbound on AC015 was a better experience. Better IFE and the PY service was better. Having said that, the PY service was still a downgrade since May 1 of 2016.

I don't have photos but the 777HDs have the Panasonic ex2 system while the retrofitted 777s and the 787s have the ex3 system, which is newer and quicker. While the ex2 isn't the newest it is still miles ahead of the THALES system imo.

The ex2 system itself is not bad - it's the hardware that sucks. The screens are dim, and have a weird vertical interlacing (one black line for every live line of pixels). The last time I flew one of these things, my screens was so out of calibration as to make it impossible to select anything in the rightmost 15% of the frame. Responsiveness is not much better than the Thales.

Ex3 is A-OK.
