We have seats K and L in row 60 on an upcoming flight. These are the bulk head seats on the upper deck.
Where are the TV screens for these seats? I see on screen attached to the bulkhead wall but I doubt those are our personal screens.
If they are in the seat arm rest...does it make the seat narrower?
I choose K/L row 60 because all the reviews say these are the best Affaires seats on the plane.
Thanks.

The PTV are in the central armrest. But don't worry, the seats have the same width ;)

If I recall the TV screens are somewhat smaller though.

Yes, significantly smaller.

Yes, significantly smaller.
Significantly? Then why is row 60 considered by many to be the best 380 Affaires seat? You would think a reduced screen would impact the comfort and amenities that row 60 has to offer.
Should I be rethinking my choice?

I wouldn't choose row 60/65 because it's not very private. If you have an other Affaires-Seat in front of you, it gives you more a feeling of privacy.

Certainly not. Of course everybody has different preferences and priorities but, IMO when flying J, there are many more important things than the size of the screen (the space is one of the top criteria and for this row 60 is clearly the best). And don't worry, it's big enough to enjoy the movies. ;)

Frankly, I don't really see what gives you more privacy in row 61 versus 60. Unless you travel in a F suite ā la SQ...

Maybe it's more a personal feeling, but: Everyone how comes from the toilett or the lounge-area looks directly at row 60.
I don't know why "row 60 is clearly the best"!? Explain me please. I've never sit in a "front row" like this. And I think the seat is exactly the same like all others, but with a smaller screen and NO storage space. So for me, it seems, the seats in row 60 are the worst!?

It's not true that there is no storage space. There are the side bins which are quite sizable. I am very happy with 60A or on the other side. Also with row 60 you don't have to squeeze your legs into the seat in front of you.

Yes, the seats are exactly the same as in other rows but what makes the difference is the space you have in row 60 which is huge compared to other rows. That's why this row is preferred by many fliers. This being said, everybody has his/her own criteria to define what is the best seat/row and I completely understand if you prefer another row ;).

Sounds good to me ...small screens ....huge space.

One other aspect to Row 60 (A/B, K/L) is that if you're travelling by yourself, the person by the window can get up without having to crawl over the person in the aisle, which I think each would consider a benefit.
