I looked back through my records and could not find any photos though... since I was traveling for work I didn't have a camera with me and it was before the era of smartphones.

If you look at my picture above, you can see the swing out arm on the bottom left of the first picture where the screen for the IFE player you're talking about was located. By the time I flew the flight they had removed the players and handed out DVD players.
