The newer planes come with the Panasonic eX3 system - the differences are most noticeable in Y where they are paired with the Elite 12.1'' display and handset - also in J/F I think they are capable of 1080p, instead of 720p only in Y. Of course, I am not sure exactly what format the content is stored on the onboard server though. However, across the plane there are differences, most noticeably in the backend server - it's faster, basically.

Older models have the eX2 system and older hardware: still functional, but still noticeably slower than the newest systems. Also in Y, the screen size is I think 11.1''.
