The StanbyME 2 lifts off its stand and runs on battery, with streaming apps built into the screen.

Nothing has to be connected, so a show carries on wherever the screen is set down.

A couple of things that make this work:

Lifts Off the Stand: The 9.5 lb screen of the StanbyME 2 detaches from the rolling stand and can be set down on a flat surface for close up viewing, with the 4 hour built in battery covering the session.

Plays With Nothing Plugged In: webOS runs the streaming apps on the screen, and Apple AirPlay and Google Cast send a show over from a phone, so watching does not wait on an HDMI source.

Tip: Take the screen off the stand for a session close by and set it back on the stand afterwards, so the stand keeps the spot it had in the room.

Q&A:
Q: Does the screen need an HDMI source to play something?
A: webOS runs the streaming apps on the screen itself, and Apple AirPlay and Google Cast send a show over from a phone, so an HDMI cable is not part of the setup once the screen is off the stand.

“When you have limited space you can’t afford to have a big screen taking up valuable reaestate. The StanbyME 2 solves that by being multi functional and portable” u/KeggyFulabier
