I know one can easily figure out the time by checking my phone, but being a victim of first world problems I would much rather be able to do that by only taking a quick peak on the screen while laying in bed instead of having to reach over for my phone. The screen conked out on me shortly after takeoff last night on a YYZ-HKG flight. They tried to reset my IFE system but the screen remained black. The ISM then offered to move me to another window seat after dinner is wrapped up, which I accepted. Too bad the screen at my new seat also conked out on me 4 hours before landing. During the flight I noticed that several other seats had the screen on their controllers blank too.

Is this fairly common with CX these days? Or did I just get a bad 777 last night?
