I'm going to assume it's the SpaceBed since the cabin matches another seatexpert page that depicts a 777-200 with spacebeds.

I've never flown the SpaceBed before but based on how old it is, I will definitely be happy with the new refurb seats. How do you rate those seats against the old Spacebeds? Is the KrisWorld and movie screen size as good as the new regional product?
I flew CPH-SIN-CPH last week on the 772ER and it is a 30 seat cabin with 2-2-2 config. Seat is so-so and nothing special. It looks worn out and you just need to take a look at the seat control panel to realize how old the seat really is. Screen is very small and even smaller than what is found on the A380 i Y. As a regular on TG from CPH I was a bit disappointed with SQ on this route to SIN. Normally TG is considered being far behind industry standard in C but trying SQ on their 772ER did not really convince me that I should go for SQ instead of TG in the future.
