Agree with many of the previous comments.

Those bulkhead mounted screens are the main reason I avoid the first (few) rows in the J cabin when possible. Don’t need to be reminded 100x over a 12h flight that Prague is now a new destination. The screen brightness is also set too high making it really difficult to relax on anything but a daytime flight. These screens should be turned off 30 mins after takeoff and turned on again 30 mins prior to landing or at a minimum set to nothing but the moving map at a low brightness setting.

What could also be improved is the brightness setting of the in-seat screens. Why are they all set to maximum brightness on a flight departing in darkness and remaining in darkness for 12h (e.g. PER-DOH)? 90% of pax don’t realise they can turn down brightness and 60% don’t realise they can turn the screen off which in sum results in too much illumination during night flights. Why can’t the brightness be set centrally to a low default starting value on such flights? The J cabin on said Perth flight was brightly illuminated despite darkness outside, cabin lights turned off and most of the pax sleeping/not watching the entertainment just because of the madness that is the high default screen brightness setting across the cabin.
