Except for maybe Emirates, they probably only have the seat back  
displays in business / first class anyway (ok, AF has it in some  
planes in economy).  When I flew AF the Airbus 340 planes did not   
have it but the 777 did.

The US carriers probably will make this a business class only thing  
and only on long haul / international flights.
