I've counted that it takes me an average of 17 button presses to get that thing to turn off, and that it is typically turned back on no fewer than 3 times per flight, meaning that for each flight, I have to press the off button a total of 51 times. That's 102 times per round-trip journey. The comparable number on AA, as I recall, would be 2, or at most, 4. Also, most legacy airlines have a static display on that screen by default. United Continental is unique in playing an endless loop of advertising that never stops for the duration of the flight. This is an irritant that is unique to United Continental.
Just turn the brightness down all the way?
