The seatback entertainment screens on planes aren’t exactly great – small, low resolution, with terrible contrast and colour profiles. However, US airline Delta is about to change that with brand new screens set to be fitted in its aircraft.

The move, announced duringCES 2025in Las Vegas, will see Delta install 4K HDR OLED displays in its planes, significantly improving the in-flight entertainment experience for passengers.

Delta has confirmed these dazzling new displays will be installed in all seat classes, meaning those in economy will be able to enjoy the same viewing clarity as those in business and first.

And the good news doesn’t stop there, as9to5Googlereports, these new OLED displays will arrive alongside Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to pair your own pair of wireless headphones to the in-flight entertainment system – finally allowing you to do away with the terrible pairs airlines hand out.

Sounds like the ideal excuse to treat yourself to a pair of thebest headphones for travel.

Onboard storage is also being upped to 96TB, allowing Delta to offer a wider range of 4K-quality content on flights with the next-generation Delta Sync seatback experience.

Both Bluetooth functionality and 4K displays are available from some airlines on select planes and in select cabins already – including Delta – but this announcement shows the intent to upgrade an enhanced viewing experience to more passengers on more flights.

YouTube Premium and Music for select passengers

Delta also announced a new partnership with YouTube, bringing the latter’s video and music streaming services to setback entertainment screens.

For passengers signed up to Delta’s SkyMiles loyalty scheme, there’s an added bonus in store as you’ll be able to access YouTube Premium (no ads) and YouTube Music for free during your flight.

Delta also revealed it’s working to upgrade Wi-Fi connectivity across its fleet, which will be welcome news to frequent flyers who rely on a stable connection to work (or relax) while in the air.

While Delta will start installing the 4K HDR OLED displays in planes from 2026, SkyMiles customers will be able to enjoy YouTube Premium and Music from later this year.
