I have recently flown on CX A350, QR 787, 777 and A380, Etihad's A380, Turkish Airlines 777-300ER and all of these aircraft have better screen resolution than CX 777s. The configuration doesn't matter. The screen in business class is like watching a CRT TV when the world has moved to 4K.
However, this issue is not confined to CX. I recently flew an AA 788 in J and the screen quality was not very good. Resolution was decent (maybe 720p), but the black levels were horribly crushed. Maybe the screen was defective, but dark scenes were almost unwatchable.

Some may forget that replacing PTVs on aircrafts are not as simple as going to Fortress and buying the latest 4K OLED display and mounting on it on their living room wall.
CX has a lot of things they need to improve on but I'd want them to focus more on inflight catering, cabin cleanliness first before replacing a working PTV.
Plus let's be fair, the old generation JCL PTVs though old, isn't really outdated/obsolete. I do recall QR's 77Ws with 2-2-2 config use similar screens.
