Emirates clearly not giving up its top spot for IFE, thankfully. There is only one improvement I can suggest, which is to beef up closed caption support (which is still better than a lot of other airlines) for us hard of hearing. Lots of great content on my last couple of EK First flights, felt like pulling a Jennifer Aniston (can we just fly around a bit more lol).

I wandered how they were going to increase the screens any more in first class.
I have flown a couple of the new aircraft, and thought the screens looked pretty big. But with no tape measure did not realise these were the new 32 inch screens referred to in business traveller!!
