00:00I am way too much of a screen snob for someone who frequently sits in seat 42B,
00:04but I'm touring United's new A321XLR right now,
00:07and like, come on, someone hand me some popcorn.
00:09Even back here in economy, I'm getting a legit 13-inch 4K OLED display.
00:13The colors and contrast are better than anything I've seen built into a plane before, point blank, period.
00:19You pair your Bluetooth headphones directly to the system, claim an outlet to charge your phone,
00:22and guys, I don't know about you, but I think I'd be set back here.
00:25If you do want the middle ground, Premium Plus upgrades you to a 16-inch OLED screen
00:30and adds wireless phone charging right at the seat.
00:32I'm calling this the I-want-tech-luxury-without-the-business-class-prices move,
00:36but do I splurge on Polaris next summer for one of these new transatlantic roots
00:41just to run a movie marathon at 30,000 feet?
00:44This 19-inch version of the OLED screen is paired with a touch panel with seat controls,
00:49USB-C charging, wireless charging, and a door you can simply slide shut
00:54when you want to act like no one else on the flight exists.
00:57That said, between freestyling Wi-Fi and mood lighting that allegedly helps with jet lag,
01:02it's honestly just nice seeing Coach Tech get a real upgrade alongside business class.
01:07So you heard it here first, airplane screens officially don't suck anymore.
01:10Catch me in row 42 pretending I am at an AMC.
01:13But let me know which cabin you're booking.
