Those newfangled LCD's aren't nearly as good. Mind you, as all movies are made to wide-screen format, the cockpit is not the best place to watch them.
PRESS RELEASE from Airbus Retro Systems Engineering
We are glad to announce that the HUD interface adapter for the IFE is now available. This will project the movie across the two main windows and, for IMAX, the side screens as well.

The main advantage of showing the movie on all four screens is best appreciated with the polariser option. This ensures that the newly installed mgmt video camera cannot see the movie. What will be seen is both pilots continually looking around them and 'observing' out of the four screens. Occasionally, one of them will point out a feature to their colleague and it will be assumed that the feature is traffic or CB when it is actually CD or DC (Cameron Diaz or Daniel Craig, depending on the nature of the crew operating the sector).
