United has two versions of 752's with lie flat seats. This version flies internationaly trans-Atlantic flights from the east coast, especially to closer cities in Ireland/Great Britain, premium transcontinental service (p.t.s. or aka PS), some Hawaii flights and occasional hub to hub flights. There are 16 BF seats, 45 E+ seats, and 108 E seats.
16/153 75b https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-75b
--- FIRST
Row 1 has wider footwells but 3" shorter bed length.
Seats 1E/1F may be slightly darker and quieter than 1A/1B, which are more susceptible to galley lights and noise.
--- ECONOMY
All economy seats share power (2 outlets per 3 seats), and have VOD screens in the seat back.
Exit row seats are Row 7ABC, Row 20, and Row 21. Row 20 seats have limited recline. Row 7ABC has "unlimited" leg room, although there's an FA jumpseat facing those seats (probably out of reach of anyone but the tallest person).
Row 8DEF are bassinet seats and also a bulkhead. There is an additional ~6" cut out at the bottom of the bulkhead for extra leg room.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

Exit row seats are Row 7, Row 20, Row 21, and Row 22. Seats 22A and 22F have "unlimited" leg room. Entertainment screen is housed in arm rest. Row 22BC and 22DE have about the same leg room as an E+ seat. These seats do recline.
Row 10A and F and 11A and F are missing a window (you get one next to the seat, but not towards the seat back of the row ahead).

Are there pictures somewhere (or a thread) of the Intl 757-200? I'm in one of these for EWR-LIM in the fall and I can't find any info on them. They're "fake" Polaris, as in old seats, correct?

1AB and 1EF are great for couples and are our go-to seats. Row 1 has larger footwells than the other rows because the seat in front normally takes footwell space. Also, I use the top of the my monitor to for storage of things I'll be using inflight. Obviously you can't use this during takeoff and landing, but I'll sometimes put a book or rest my iPad up there mid-flight.

United 757-200 underseat space severely limited in economy
I recently did KOA-DEN in row 9 (economy plus). I'm a one-bag traveler and usually toss my backpack in the overhead to preserve leg room. On this flight after boarding I would need to do some work so I decided to try my bag under the seat. My bag for this flight was a ULA dragonfly which fits into the "personal" item sizer easily. While the underseat area on seats A, B, C are all wider than they are on say a 737... there was a severe height restriction there I didn't anticipate. It seems on the 757-200s there is a big plastic box that holds the life preserver... which made the height of the underseat space ~6 inches. Quite annoying.
Thought I'd post this here for anyone hoping to store their bag under the seat in front of them on this aircraft.

should fit easily if not expanded beyond manufacturer's dimensions of 19.5x11x7 when packing it What Are the Standard Dimensions of the Space Under an Airline Seat? (reference.com)

Old or new configuration? The IFE boxes in the old configuration were pretty bulky... but that was negated (IMO) with extremely generous E+ pitch and recline, something that is no longer the case with the new 75S layout. I didn't find the underseat area of the 75S to be particularly small when I flew last week.
