I also don't understand controls. The one closest to the seatback raises it to seating position while the middle button to some level of horizontal. Not sure what the third button is supposed to do, since all it does is shift the seat back and forth when not fully horizontal. There is no way to control the back and leg portions of the seat separately.

Anyway want to see if anyone else shares my opinion, and could explain what that third button is supposed to do.
The 3rd button is used to get closer the tray table if you need to.
Otherwise, I don't share your opinion that NEV4 is better than the BEST seat which is better for many aspect (comfort, space, privacy, aisle access, storage compartment, IFE, etc). But I never had any comfort problem with the NEV4 seat. I just think the BEST one is better.
