The monitors you see at the gate are people who have status with the airline waiting on a complimentary upgrade if seats are available.

They also typically have a standby section, that would be people who don't have a ticket on the flight but if seats are available they will be allowed to board.

Delta has started to include the basic economy seats on that standby list. Usually after check-in I'll notice the standby list is about 20-25 deep when there's really only a few people on standby. Not sure if united is doing the same

To the OP, call United's 800 number and ask how many miles + $$ it would take to upgrade. Also you can check in the app, United has a very good app that will let you upgrade/pay for the more legroom seats cheaper. I have also gotten good deals (paying with cash) during check-in to upgrade to 1st
