Hi Chunk,

I wasn't the one making that comment so maybe the person who did also had examples in mind, but I actually saw some myself on a JFK-AMS flight in February (regular 744, not the combi). It didn't bother me, but it looked rather ridiculous. And even though I also like the mini-cabin for its privacy, I'd agree that the lack of PTV is a big handicap in view of what the competition offers, so it is definitely a good thing they are installing them (I should say I don't sleep well on aircrafts, so for me entertainment can matter, and as the KL food in eco tends to be very poor, it is a needed saving grace!) Cheers,
