Has anyone flown this plane that can comment on how reduced (if at all) the recline is in row 5? (I'm 6'5", if that may affect your advice/comments.)

I was in 5C a few weeks back, and it seemed to have limited recline. Can't get anybody to confirm that, though.

I also don't like the way the monitors don't tilt out, and 1A/1D would not have the problem. Though it won't matter to you since you plan on dozing!
