United has a higher-density 777 primarily for domestic flights, with 3-4-3 across economy seating and a smaller business ("United First") class with lie-flat seating. There are three versions, which UA is labeling Version 2, Version 3, and Version 4. The differences from prior 777 planes are the economy lavatory areas and the surrounding seats (Rows 37, 39, 40, 41 and 52). This plane features 28-32 lie-flat United First seats, 102-124 Economy-plus seats, and 206-234 Economy seats. All United First seats have in-flight entertainment screens and at-seat power. The United First seats are the same lie-flat "coffins" that were used on international 777 flights prior to the introduction of the Polaris seats. All Economy seats have power outlets (2 outlets for 3-seat groups and 3 outlets for 4-seat groups), but do not have seat-back entertainment screens (just a device holder).

As others have noted, it's only the aisle seats where you're staring at someone else. The issue in the windows is you have to step over to get out and there's no storage space at the seat. But still way better than economy (especially 10 across Y on this aircraft).

When people discuss seeing someone it is looking down / across the aisle. That bothers some and does not bother others. You can not see the person ahead or you or behind you without standing.
for those more familiar with the 2-4-2 config, it is the center 4seats that receive the most derision due the close quarters
and you can see the aisle issue in the second image

The pictures really clear it up. The partitions between seat rows are a lot higher than I thought they were. Ended up choosing 3l. Thanks guys

Do any of the window seats non E+ in the back offer any more legroom due to the curve of the rear of the plane. For instance I know 41 on PMCO 777 row 41a/l and was wondering if anything similar on this config.

Another option is aisle/aisle seating approach -- sit across the aisle, still easy to talk and exchange items but there is an aisle in between.

Best window seats in Economy on United HD 777?
I have a flight coming up on United 995 from SFO to Chicago. The flight is using one of the HD 777s, with the 3-4-3 configuration. So far I've selected Seat 48A since it's only 2 across. However I was wondering how the window is on that seat, and what are some other good window seats in economy (economy only, no economy + or first, etc). The main things I'm looking for are:
1. There is actually a window in that row
2. The window is aligned with the seat.
There are still a bunch of seats left to choose from (from row 40 back). So how are 42A or J? 43A or J? 47A or J? Etc?
I've read in previous threads that seat 48A is pretty good for the extra legroom, but there's a lot of space between the window and the seat. How much space, exactly? And I'm pretty sure there will be people congregating in the aisles since it's near the bathroom.
Thanks for any insights!

For seat 17A, Is there a window at that particular seat? Im currently seated at 40A in Version 4 of the aircraft and thinking of switching. Any additional advise if i move to that particular seat or stay with my current seat. (IAH-HNL in mid June).

The sCO (2-2-2) and Polaris seats do not have this issue.

The good news is that's only a requirement for take-off and landing. In between, passengers can have their backpacks, briefcases or purses out of the overhead bins.
