Are you referencing the movie projection screen with plastic headphone tubes, the looping movie channels, or the in-aisle CRT TVs?

Mine ends up set to the in-flight map regardless of the airline or the size of the screen.
I'm not saying it's not useful for some people: I'm sure it is. But it doesn't move the needle for me. I'd rather have no IFE and more legroom, personally.
Ironically, the IPTE entertainment system had that option, albeit with iPods.
