An aircraft passenger seat assembly, comprising:

• a seat frame;
• a seat pan coupled to the seat frame;
• a backrest coupled to the seat frame, the backrest having an axis of rotation configured to lower as the backrest reclines;
• a backrest extension movably coupled to the backrest, the backrest extension configured to move between a retracted position within the backrest and an extended position above a top of the backrest;
• a monitor rotatably mounted to the backrest extension and movable with the backrest extension;
• a first actuator coupled to the backrest and to the backrest extension;
• a second actuator coupled to the backrest extension and to the monitor;
• and
• a controller, including a processor, configured to:
• operate the first actuator to move the backrest extension toward the extended position as the backrest reclines, wherein the amount of movement of the backrest extension is determined by the amount of backrest recline;
• and
• operate the second actuator to rotate the monitor, wherein the amount of rotation of the monitor is determined by the amount of backrest recline;
• wherein the operations of the first and second actuators are coordinated.
