LG Electronics has introduced its latest innovation, the StanbyMe Go, a unique 27-inch portable LCD TV encased within a sturdy travel suitcase. This distinctive offering from LG provides consumers with a novel way to enjoy entertainment on the go.
With a 27-inch full HD LED touchscreen, a powerful 20-watt speaker system, and a three-hour rechargeable battery, the StanbyMe Go is aimed at those seeking a versatile solution for portable content consumption.
The StanbyMe Go is designed to address the limitations of smaller screens during travel or outdoor activities. It offers a unique blend of entertainment and functionality, allowing users to watch their favorite TV shows and movies, and even engage in gaming, all within a single compact unit. The product has generated significant curiosity since its international launch and is now available for preorder in the United States at a price of $1,000.
"Content viewing is no longer confined to the living room or even the home, but until now, consumers have had to sacrifice screen size in favor of portability," David Park, head of HE product marketing at LG, said in a press release.
One of the main features of the StanbyMe Go is its adaptability. The 27-inch 1080p LCD screen is mounted on a swivel, enabling users to adjust its position according to their preferences. The screen can be tilted, rotated, and even set up in table mode, making it suitable for a variety of scenarios. Whether you are looking to enjoy outdoor entertainment, accompany your work setup, or embark on a family vacation, the StanbyMe Go offers a unique blend of convenience and performance.
StanbyMe Go boasts an integrated 20-watt speaker system. The speakers adapt to the screen's rotation and deliver immersive surround sound with Dolby Atmos support. Additionally, the device is equipped with Dolby Vision technology, promising vibrant visuals and dynamic picture quality.
With its emphasis on versatility, the StanbyMe Go is equipped with a battery capable of providing up to three hours of viewing time on a single charge. This battery life should ensure that users can enjoy extended entertainment sessions without the need for frequent recharging. The TV supports a range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay, which should enable seamless streaming from various devices.
LG's webOS software powers the StanbyMe Go, granting access to a plethora of streaming apps. The touchscreen interface provides intuitive control, while the remote control is also included for added convenience. Voice commands can be used to control the device, thanks to its embedded far-field microphones, according to LG.
While the StanbyMe Go's unique design and functionality have garnered attention, it is important to note its size and weight. Measuring approximately 26.38 x 17.05 x 4.69 inches when closed and weighing 28 pounds, this portable TV is substantial, catering to those who prioritize a larger screen experience over extreme portability.
Preorders for the StanbyMe Go are exclusively available on LG's official website. As a limited-time offer, customers who place preorders before the end of the month will receive an LG XBoom 360 Bluetooth speaker, a $300 value, alongside their purchase. The first units are expected to start shipping at the end of the month.
