A 27-inch TV on a rollable stand? \u201cWhat\u2019s the purpose?\u201d I at all times questioned. Whereas a 27-inch TV would\u2019ve been thought of \u2018massive\u2019 within the late \u201890s or early 2000s, we now stay in a time the place a 48-inch TV is realistically the smallest measurement we\u2019d put in our front room. And with latest releases from the likes of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/i-saw-samsungs-usd30-000-115-inch-micro-rgb-tv-and-its-vivid-picture-outshines-mini-led-tvs\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/i-saw-samsungs-usd30-000-115-inch-micro-rgb-tv-and-its-vivid-picture-outshines-mini-led-tvs\">Samsung reaching up to 115 inches<\/a>, is there actually a spot for a a lot, a lot smaller 27-inch display screen within the house?<\/p>\n<p>LG clearly didn\u2019t share my reservations, because the Korean producer introduced a second-generation mannequin at CES in January 2025 that didn\u2019t simply introduce just a few iterative upgrades, however as a substitute represented an entire overhaul.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"d0832e1e-4116-4740-866b-6dda8c9e6887-2\">The premise is the same \u2013 a TV you can move from room to room \u2013 but it now offers other notable features, including a QHD panel (an increase from the 1080p full HD of the previous generation) and new viewing modes that allow the user to watch while the screen is off its stand (its predecessor was fixed in place).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit that I began this review as a sceptic, but after using the LG StanByMe 2 for a few weeks, I\u2019ve done a complete 180 \u2013 this is a genuinely fun, cool, useful TV. It\u2019s not going to replace your main screen for watching movies and TV shows, but that\u2019s also not its purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The StanByMe 2 is a TV that you can have in the kitchen to follow along with recipes, or if you have a small bedroom, you can position it over your bed for late-night binge watching. It\u2019s touchscreen-enabled, so you can lay it flat on a table and have your kids play interactive games on it. You can take it away with you in the car to set up and watch content at a campsite or hotel as it can run on battery for a while. I even used it as a second display attached to my laptop.<\/p>\n<p>The built-in battery promises up to four hours from a single charge (up from 3.5 hours in the previous model). I found this to be pretty accurate, although do note that even when the screen is turned off, it\u2019s technically in a standby mode and will continue to use the battery. I left it turned off over a weekend with a full charge, but it had dropped to 34% on my return three days later. A physical power button can be found on the side of the TV, and a long press will power it down completely.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of the StanByMe 2 may elude people at first, but once you have one in your life, you\u2019ll wonder how you ever did without it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-TK8wgSWKYVn6aTwWPEMcgH\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-TK8wgSWKYVn6aTwWPEMcgH slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Picture quality is good, although it won\u2019t rival the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-tv\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-tv\">best TVs<\/a>.

Happily, you may join it to a soundbar due to an HDMI eARC port, however I reckon since most individuals will likely be utilizing the display screen in a totally transportable mode \u2013 which is strictly the way it ought to be used \u2013 a bodily connection will show cumbersome.<\/p>\n<p>The StanByMe 2 additionally advantages from LG\u2019s webOS <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/operating-system\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/operating-system\">operating system<\/a>. On the time of writing, it makes use of webOS 24, however the firm has confirmed the TV will obtain the webOS 25 replace, and it&#8217;s assured to obtain software program updates for 5 years, as much as webOS 28 (LG typically launches a brand new model every year).<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing fairly just like the LG StanByMe 2 on the market and that makes it difficult to attain for an goal evaluate like this. There are related screens on the horizon from the likes of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/i-saw-samsungs-new-portable-smart-tv-and-i-think-it-beats-lgs-equivalent-with-its-smart-design\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/i-saw-samsungs-new-portable-smart-tv-and-i-think-it-beats-lgs-equivalent-with-its-smart-design\">Samsung and its Movingstyle model<\/a>, however that\u2019s but to see a large launch \u2013 we\u2019ve not had an opportunity to evaluate it but right here at TechRadar, and I\u2019ve not personally seen it both.<\/p>\n<p>As a life-style display screen that provides a brand new option to devour content material, the StanByMe 2 excels, however tech as distinctive as this calls for a excessive worth and that\u2019s my largest subject. As a lot as I might love to provide it a full 5 stars, I&#8217;ve to dock factors purely due to how a lot LG is asking for it \u2013 particularly if you examine its price to conventional TVs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"77788a8c-2e75-4302-b8c9-59bef62842e1\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1980px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.26%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LG StanByMe 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/GadbWWEXeeW9BTXLc5uhTN.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Picture credit score: Future \/ Max Langridge)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-inbody\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-model-name=\"LG StanByMe 2\" data-name=\"Inbody widget\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"phones\" data-widget-type=\"inbody\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/><a id=\"elk-lg-stanbyme-2-review-price-availability\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-lg-stanbyme-2-review-price-availability\"><span>LG StanByMe 2 review: Price &amp; availability<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"f889a53b-b456-43af-8863-a200b0632558\">\n<li><strong>$1,299 \/ \u00a31,399.99 \/ AU$2,199<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Staggered global rollout: US \u2013 July 2025, UK \u2013 August 2025, Australia \u2013 September 2025<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"d6423105-0350-431f-a41a-7397c66a964f\">The LG StanByME 2 was announced at CES in January 2025 and was made available to buy in the US from July 2025, followed by a UK launch in August and eventually making its way to Australia in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, it\u2019s priced at $1,299, which is higher than the RRP of the entry-level <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/lg-b5-review\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/lg-b5-review\">LG B5 OLED TV<\/a> in 48-inch guise ($899.99) and just under the bigger 55-inch variant ($1,499.99).<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, within the UK, it\u2019s \u00a31,399.99, though on the time of scripting this additionally consists of an XT7S Bluetooth speaker that may connect to the TV stand and increase audio efficiency.

id=\"30e3d81c-faff-426c-8843-c5fa4b778b1f\">As I\u2019ve already mentioned, the LG StanByMe 2 is a compact 27-inch TV that uses an edge-lit IPS LCD panel with quad HD resolution (2,560 x 1,440p) and a refresh rate of 60Hz. So, not a \u2018proper\u2019 <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/4k\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/4k\">4K<\/a> display screen, however it does have complete <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/hdr\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/hdr\">HDR<\/a> help within the type of Dolby Imaginative and prescient, HDR10 and HLG HDR codecs.<\/p>\n<p>Not like the TVs we\u2019re all aware of as we speak, the StanByMe 2\u2019s display screen has a matte coating that barely reduces picture high quality, however it helps reduce reflections and stop fingerprints if you\u2019re supporting it for rolling to a unique room. The matte coating isn\u2019t the identical, or related, because the anti-glare panel of the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/samsung-s95f-review\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/samsung-s95f-review\">Samsung S95F<\/a>, as that display screen is definitely capable of soak up gentle and dissipate over the show\u2019s floor. I might liken it extra to a PC monitor.<\/p>\n<p>The place the StanByMe 2 additionally differs from standard TVs is that it\u2019s touchscreen-enabled. Because of this performance, you\u2019re ready to make use of your fingers to work together with it, whether or not it&#8217;s loading up the built-in sketchpad software to doodle or jot down notes, or taking part in video games that come pre-installed (extra video games can be found through the LG app retailer).

When utilizing streaming apps, you\u2019ll want to make use of the distant management or the on-screen controls that seem within the backside proper nook if you contact the show.<\/p>\n<p>The place the StanByMe 2 shines is what LG supposed it for \u2013 a transportable display screen that can be utilized the place a bigger show could be useful. For instance, I used it within the kitchen, the place I loaded up a YouTube video telling me learn how to make the right mashed potato. I used to be capable of place the StanByMe 2 over my kitchen island and observe together with ease. Watching the identical video on a smartphone display screen simply wasn\u2019t as efficient, and I don\u2019t personal a pill or a sensible show.

With out the TV, I might both have the identical video taking part in on a separate tab on my pc.

If you happen to use the display screen in a unique mode, then battery life takes a significant hit. I turned it on after (unknowingly) leaving it on standby for 3 days to seek out the battery had dropped from 100% to 34%. I then watched a 30-minute YouTube video, and the battery degree dropped to 9%.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be able to energy down the TV fully by lengthy urgent on the facility button on the left facet of the display screen.

LG doesn\u2019t quote a brightness determine and I wasn\u2019t capable of measure it myself, however with the panel brightness set appropriately \u2013 100 most often \u2013 I had no points seeing element or sustaining shade influence. For darker content material, I discovered \u2018isf Knowledgeable Darkish\u2019 to be the best-performing image preset.

To get the perfect picture, I needed to push the panel brightness to 100. The TV additionally lacks a Filmmaker Mode and the Dolby Imaginative and prescient Filmmaker modes that seem on LG\u2019s higher-end QNED and OLED TV fashions.<\/p>\n<p>Due to these inherent constraints, the StanByMe 2 is finest seen in dimmer environments and isn\u2019t nicely suited to being your major display screen for film watching.<\/p>\n<ul id=\"b2623b18-a354-448b-8240-a71b3c34ac51\">\n<li><strong>Image high quality rating: 3.5 \/ 5<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"elk-lg-stanbyme-2-review-sound-quality\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-lg-stanbyme-2-review-sound-quality\"><span>LG StanByMe 2 review: Sound quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"18f49f0b-006e-4eb7-b9cc-8da99b936c82\">\n<li><strong>Dolby Atmos support<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Sound mode with virtual 9.1.2 up-mix<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fine for most tasks, but not intense movie watching<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"60e41e9a-be01-46e2-ad60-4aad1ce2d7c4\">As with picture quality, the StanByMe 2\u2019s audio performance isn\u2019t anything extraordinary.

Instead, it\u2019s designed to be a supplementary screen in your home.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the built-in speakers can be reasonably loud and dialogue is clear. What it lacks is low-end presence \u2013 especially in movie scenes with explosions. The AI Sound Pro mode is the best option in my opinion, as it helps create a more expansive soundstage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"4464905a-5477-4af0-a1ee-737e5afc3e30\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1980px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.21%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rear of LG StanByMe 2 with folio cover attached\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tB2ikN9DWzGRKmLZhGQLoM.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Max Langridge)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"d590af03-7370-4615-8311-5cf4d0e5f31a\">You do have options to improve the audio output, either by physically connecting to a soundbar or other external audio device via HDMI eARC, or wirelessly to a Bluetooth speaker or pair of active speakers. I do think a physical connection will be cumbersome for most users, particularly if the TV is connected to its stand. That said, you could always hang it on the included hook and have a cable trailing down to a soundbar on a unit beneath.<\/p>\n<p>I had a pair of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/audio\/forget-standard-wireless-speakers-kefs-new-bookshelf-stereo-speakers-are-perfect-for-the-digital-age\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/audio\/forget-standard-wireless-speakers-kefs-new-bookshelf-stereo-speakers-are-perfect-for-the-digital-age\">KEF Coda W <\/a>audio system readily available and, as soon as related to the LG, the distinction was dramatic.

You don\u2019t get such versatility from conventional TVs and this actually is the place the StanByMe 2 genuinely stands out.<\/p>\n<ul id=\"ba3df887-2853-4ff3-b4e0-c4c8e938c26f\">\n<li><strong>Sound high quality rating: 4 \/ 5<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"elk-lg-stanbyme-2-review-design\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-lg-stanbyme-2-review-design\"><span>LG StanByMe 2 review: Design<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"26e42238-e1db-4ffa-a97d-55ec0a8d264e\">\n<li><strong>Multiple viewing modes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Good selection of connections<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Useful design touches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"6dbe6556-0cb4-43bf-ac2e-57afc850634d\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1980px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.26%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rear of LG StanByMe 2 attached to stand\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hVwQFzrs9V7dKMXbUn9siM.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Max Langridge)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"e870559f-413f-41c0-adea-888ff45d8411\">As I\u2019ve alluded to already in this review, the StanByMe 2 isn\u2019t designed to replace a traditional TV. Its headline feature is its ability to be used in a variety of viewing positions. The main position \u2013 the one that\u2019s likely to be used the most \u2013 sees it being attached to a rollable stand. The first-generation StanByMe was permanently attached to its stand, so it\u2019s great that the new model can detach, expanding its usability.<\/p>\n<p>The stand is relatively heavy at 10.9kg \/ 24 lbs and its wheels are silent when rolling around, but they\u2019re definitely smoother on hard floors compared to carpet.<\/p>\n<p>The stand has two sections: a fixed-height main pole and an adjustable arm that can raise the screen up and down a few inches. The base plays host to a power point, which is used to charge the TV\u2019s built-in battery.<\/p>\n<p>When you want to detach the TV from the stand to use in tabletop mode, you need to press a large central button on the rear panel of the TV and pull it forward. Because the TV itself is quite light at 4.3kg \/ 9.5lbs, it\u2019s easy enough to hold onto the screen with one hand, and press the button with the other. And thanks to its lightweight build, you shouldn\u2019t have too much of an issue carrying it around.<\/p>\n<p>To use the StanByMe 2 in tabletop mode, you need to clip in a supplied kickstand on the rear of the screen, and slot the folio cover into two holes along the bottom edge. The folio cover then folds around to the back of the screen and slots into the kickstand.<\/p>\n<p>The final viewing mode is hanging it up on a hook against a wall. The hook needs to be drilled into the wall, so it wasn\u2019t something I could test for this review. I own my home, but with my review sample only being on loan, I didn\u2019t want a hole left in my wall when it was returned. Once the hook is mounted, you can attach a strap to the StanByMe 2 to hang it. You can hang it in either portrait or landscape orientation, and besides watching TV, you could activate one of the many wallpapers or screensavers, which include weather and calendar information, a \u2018now playing\u2019 screen when playing music, or a digital photo album.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"3ed72e3f-f72e-4e5d-bf5c-102f30b78a68\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1980px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.26%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Connections of LG StanByMe 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EdcnfBoJQGQ6YsayUfSsQM.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Max Langridge)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"0f65cba5-059c-440c-a73a-d76f8b9e45a6\">LG\u2019s listing information for the TV also shows a person hanging this strap over their shoulder with the TV in landscape mode \u2013 similar to a messenger bag. But who wants or needs to hang a 27-inch TV over their shoulder?<\/p>\n<p>A remote control is supplied with the StanByMe 2, which I expected to be similar to the one used by LG\u2019s other TVs, but there are a few design changes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the coolest function is the fact that the remote can magnetically attach to the top edge of the TV (when it\u2019s in landscape mode) or to the folio cover when it\u2019s in tabletop mode, so you don\u2019t have to worry about losing it.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difference between this remote and the one you\u2019d get with a regular LG TV is that it loses the Magic Remote functionality, i.e. you can\u2019t use it to move a pointer around the screen as you can on an LG TV. If you have an LG Magic Remote at home, or you purchase one separately, then you can benefit from the pointer function as it\u2019s compatible with the StanByMe 2.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a small selection of connections on the StanByMe 2, including an HDMI eARC for connecting to a soundbar to boost audio output, or to a laptop or PC so the TV can moonlight as a second screen. There\u2019s also a USB-C port on the side for connecting external devices and power banks, and another USB-C port on the top edge for connecting a webcam.<\/p>\n<p>LG says the USB-C port can also charge the screen TV when it\u2019s not connected to the stand, but I struggled to get this working, even when using my MacBook Pro\u2019s power brick. The user manual states you need a charger capable of either 65W (20V\/3.25A) or100W (20V\/5A) output, a criteria my MacBook\u2019s charger satisfies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-lg-stanbyme-2-review-smart-tv-menus\"><span>LG StanByMe 2 review: Smart TV &amp; menus<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"e8eae85f-c611-4960-a6f7-ead4e2b62169\">\n<li><strong>Customized version of webOS<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Five years of upgrades promised<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No on-screen adverts! <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"88367e94-fe5a-4856-b551-106ae17c3264\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1980px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.26%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Quick settings menus LG StanByMe 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FTWkrVKox93WEvYRTewUSN.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Max Langridge)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"a703eba8-fbd5-4514-9ab1-4ead13b4b590\">The LG StanByMe 2 uses a customized version of the company\u2019s well-received webOS operating system.

LG classes the StanByMe 2 as a \u2018lifestyle TV\u2019 and I couldn\u2019t agree more. It\u2019s not going to replace a main TV in your home, but is designed to be an addition that can make your daily routine more convenient.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s certainly a case to be made for its existence then, but you\u2019ll need to seriously consider whether it\u2019s worth the premium price tag.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\"
