Default United Airlines 777 Personal TVs?

I'm flying out from London Heathrow to San Francisco with United Airlines on
a boeing 777. Does anyone know if they have personal tvs on those flights or
shall I take some sedatives?

Haven't done SF for ages, but I took a United 777 from LHR to ORD a few
weeks ago and it did indeed have personal screens. I imagine they're
pretty much standard now.

That's great. Thanks for letting me know. It's just the last long haul I flew
(with Air Canada) didn't and it was horrible!

It's likely that you'll also have power for the computer as well....in coach

The 777 is user friendly!

Yes, but I find the seats (in economy where I get to fly) hard as a park
bench. And the window seats have no leg room at all. There are many planes
I'd pick before a 777.

FYI - Boeing configures the seating according to the customer (airline)
wishes. Without going into detail, some airlines have more seats per aisle,
and smaller seats, and less interval between seats, than other airlines. It
is not the Boeing 777. It is the airline.

Naturally; the airline could have an all first-class configuration if they
wanted. I can only relate to those configurations I've actually flown.

My own impression has been that it's roomier on SAS than United.
