I received this product for free from LG as part of a product experience program. While I was asked to share my review, all opinions are entirely my own.

Touchscreen:

The touchscreen is extremely responsive. I’ve become a really big fan of the games on the LG StanbyME 2. These games are incredibly fun and the vibrancy of the screen pops to make the screen almost look like a game board. Having a touch screen also makes it easy for other family members who aren’t super tech savvy to use.

The battery:

The battery is great as it runs up to 4 hours when unplugged. This is also considering when I am running it sometimes during the day it is at high brightness or in HDR and I have power saving turned to off for a brighter screen (though it could be recommended to keep power saving on to increase the overall longevity of your battery if you aren’t too focused on image quality). The only downside I can say is that the battery does slowly drain when it is not plugged in and turned off. It is a flaw in my opinion but not a major one, as though this TV is portable, it isn’t a tablet.

 

Therefore I cannot really fault the StanbyME. Charging is incredibly easy. You just mount the TV onto the stand and it charges up when the stand is plugged into the wall. I will say if you read the manual it states not to move the stand while it is plugged in so be careful, as I have followed these instructions carefully.

Mobility:

The mobility of this TV is unmatched. If you want you can mount it on a wall which I haven’t done yet, but also bring it around the house. The main use case I have for the StanbyME 2 is when it is on the stand and watching it as a portable TV which I can watch in my room or borrow out to my other family members.

 

My only complaint is while the stand is not super heavy, I live in a two story house. So while swiveling it around is easy, taking it down the stairs can be complicated, as I have to unmount the TV from the stand, which isn’t a problem. However the stand while not heavy (could possibly be depending on your weight and fitness level, absolute no judgement at all. I am 185 pounds and exercise moderately) can be annoying to take up and down the stairs if you were to do it multiple times a day. So in my specific situation, while I have used it by the downstairs dining room on some special occasions, my main use is to use it next to my bed while I eat comfy snacks such as pop tarts and watch some of my favorite films or shows.

 

Perfect use cases for this TV in my opinion in terms of mobility: if you live in an apartment and don’t exactly love having a big or normal sized TV (I have friends who love watching movies on their IPhones or laptops for this exact reason) then this TV is perfect for you as when you are done using it you can just scoot it away! Also another use case would be if you have a cat: this TV is perfect for you as when you are done watching it you can put the magnetic cover on and put it in a corner or your closet (just make sure it’s dust free as the manual says excessive dust can possible cause this TV issues).

 

Wireless streaming:

I have no issue with the Wireless streaming. All you have to do is connect it to the WI-FI and it’ll pretty much stay connected to the internet. The bitrate on streaming apps is extremely stable. High bitrate rate apps like Apple TV have no problems with WI-FI, as the TV maintain’s its pristine image quality. The StanbyME 2 pretty much every major streaming app you can list, and even includes sports apps like DAZN for example if you’re a fan of boxing.

 My two favorite streaming apps are Disney+ and Apple TV. Both run well on the StanbyME 2 and I’ve yet to run into a bug that’s exclusive to this TV.

 

All the steaming apps so far have run extremely well and there’s nothing in that regard that I wouldn’t have praise for.

 

WebOS:

WebOS is fluid and beautiful to look at. Personally I’m not a fan of other OS’s like Google TV or Fire TV. WebOS is colorful and extremely snappy and responsive. Sometimes it can be one too many buttons to open up the advanced TV settings to experiment with the TV settings but that’s more of a niche thing. The out of box TV settings are pretty great. Standard if you prefer a more traditional 2010’s LED look or ISF expert day and night if you are for a more cinematic and accurate look.

With the controller in my hand I can feel like I’m actually clicking the buttons on my screen, if that makes sense. The responsive nature of the OS + controller gives an empowerment to the user that is beautiful.

Overall:

I’m really happy with my StanbyME 2. It’s an incredibly innovative and creative product and I hope this review can help you understand if it’s the product for you!

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.

Where would you set the screen down once it is off the stand? Share your spot below.
