I do not mind facing a wall because big part of the flight I am reading.
Also I try to sleep for a few hours , and 4D is not so good for it on day flights.
I agree with saviox. Overall, 1a/k is quieter and if a window is important, 4D will not do for you. The windows in 1a/k are also a little unique in that you can see almost directly forward becasue of the curve in fuselage. 4D is perfect if you don't like to climb over someone or to be climbed over.
