I like it better then watching a movie on an air plane, if you have ever flown on an air plane with the screens in the head rests of the seats in front of you you'll know what I mean. The back seat of the truck has a little more room between the passenger and the front seat so it's actually more comfortable watching a movie or playing a game. Doesn't feel overly close at all, plus you don't get a crick in your neck looking up at the roof mounted screens, it's more of a natural position for your head, or your passengers/kids heads.
