The world’s third-largest airline will fit the Astrova TVs to seatbacks in its Airbus A321XLRs and Boeing 787 aircraft from 2025.
The announcement was made by United Airlines’ managing director of identity, product, and loyalty, Mark Murren, during the first day of the 2023 Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.
Panasonic’s Astrova displays are offered in seven sizes — 13-, 16-, 19-, 22- 27-, 32-, and 42-inch — and offer much smaller bezels and thinner designs than existing airplane screens. The 42-inch option is intended exclusively for use in first class, where airlines have the most space to work with.While OLED will undoubtedly be a major benefit in terms of colour reproduction and contrast, it’s questionable whether most of the available screen sizes would benefit from a 4K resolution.
In addition to the improved display technology, the screen supports Bluetooth connectivity, so passengers can wirelessly connect their own earbuds or headphones instead of using the wired models provided by the airline.
