As a frequent BA and Cathay Pacific flyer, I know that Cathay Pacific is probably the best for economy because it installs all its IFE boxes right inside the seat, hidden away from flyers, so the footwell is completely unobstructed.
If pan-mounted means that, then it really is a big step up and should be given more credit compared to the likes of QR, EK who don't do this.

I thought pan-mounted means something related to the tilt of the IFE screen.

The IFE equipment, including the electrical wiring, components, processor unit, etc. is typically stored within an IFE box. Conventionally, the IFE box is mounted on the side of the seat frame leg structure, thus inhibiting leg room, storage space under the passenger seat. More recently, as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0058165, the IFE box has been stored underneath the passenger seat pan. The current passenger seat design allows technicians to unlock and raise the seat pan to access the IFE box for repair and maintenance
The "seat pan", I've now learned to know, is where the bum goes!
