Tried these seats for the first time yesterday. Sat in the second row (21). Found that the foot rest is too high to allow my legs to rest on the leg rest at the same time. There is also bout four inches less space between the tray table and the seat, compared with business first seating. As a larger person that makes a huge difference.
No way at all I would ever pay for Premium economy or be upgraded into it, unless E+ was totally full and 3-4-3 seating.

sorry the bulkhead row legrest I believe would be too short for tall people, like most ones I have seen on planes that are connected to the seat
the second and third row they are not connected to your seat but come down from the seat in front so your big feet and legs and go over-top of them

Another question; it appears that the fold-up video screen in the bulkhead row may be smaller than the seatback screen in the other aisles. Is this correct?

Looking at the fold out screens and comparing them to seat back fitted screens I would say yes, but it could be an optical illusion.

Believe that is incorrect
If your 777 has PremuimPlus, it has 3-4-3
787 all have 3-3-3 but is a narrower cabin

When I flew in a PP bulkhead and compared it to the screens behind me, it appeared smaller to me. But it wasn’t significant enough that I would avoid a bulkhead seat because of it.

The footrest in row 21 and 22 is attached to the bottom of the seat in front.. When not in use it folds up, and to deploy it you have to lift it up. It appears to only drop about 4" though, still a bit high for comfort. To be honest, I had trouble figuring it out, and the FA was as clueless when I asked her how they were lowered.

My point was that I would be more comfortable in an aisle seat in 3-4-3 with an empty seat beside me than in PE. As it was, on the way backfrom SFO, both myself and my travelling companion ended up spending part of the flight in empty rows of Y- where we could at least stretch out.
