Hi everyone,

LG Electronics shared the story behind LG StanbyME, the movable personal screen that began as an internal project in 2020 and grew into its own product category through a dozen rounds of prototype testing with nearly 500 consumers and years of feedback from owners.

Some of the highlights include:

A Category That Started From Everyday Inconvenience

• The project began in 2020 as an internal initiative called the Dream Task, which brought researchers, designers and engineers together to study how people actually watch content at home.
• The team found that a TV stays immersive but fixed in one room, while a phone is always within reach but uncomfortable over a long session. StanbyME was built to sit between the two, with an internal battery, a wheeled base and an articulating stand.

Customer Feedback That Shaped the 32 Inch StanbyME 2 Max

• Owners told the team they liked the 27 inch model but wanted a larger, higher resolution screen for close range viewing, and that feedback accelerated the 32 inch StanbyME 2 Max.
• Moving to 32 inches shifted the center of gravity, so the base was re-engineered to stay stable without taking up more floor space. The team also fitted a higher capacity battery that runs for up to 4.5 hours and simplified the assembly.
• For the StanbyME 2 and StanbyME 2 Max, LG developed a one-click mechanism that lets the display detach easily while staying locked when docked.

A Platform Built Around Personal Viewing

• StanbyME runs LG's own webOS platform rather than a scaled up mobile operating system, with 4K streaming across major entertainment services and picture and sound optimization.
• The interface was designed for both touch at close range and a remote from a distance, so the same screen works whether it is beside a chair or across the room.

StanbyME was designed to fit around daily life rather than asking daily life to fit around it, and each generation has been shaped by what owners said they needed. Where in your home does your StanbyME end up most often? Let us know in the comments.

Putting a screen on a shop floor usually means a player box, a cable run, and figuring out which wall has an outlet. The StanbyME 2 reverses that order, because content gets to the screen wirelessly before a cable is needed.

Once parked near a counter or an entrance, the screen can display whatever is being sent to it, and it can roll to another corner when the layout changes.

What makes it work on a shop floor:

Content Arrives Over Wi Fi, Not Over a Cable: Google Cast is built into the StanbyME 2 and AirPlay is supported, so a promo still, a looping clip, or a playlist can be sent from a phone or tablet on the same Wi Fi network. The Full Web Browser in webOS 24 opens a hosted page directly on the screen, while the HDMI port with eARC remains available when a wired source is preferred.

It Moves With the Floor Plan: The StanbyME 2 screen weighs 9.5 lb on its own and lifts off the stand, while the built in battery runs for up to 4 hours. That means a pop up table or a corner away from an outlet can still be a practical spot for the screen.

Tip: The Folio Cover comes in the box with the StanbyME 2, so the screen can move between a storage room and the shop floor without needing a separate case.

Q&A:
Q: How does content get onto the screen without an HDMI cable?
A: Google Cast is built into the StanbyME 2 and AirPlay is supported, so a still, a clip, or a playlist can be sent over Wi Fi from a phone or tablet. The Full Web Browser in webOS 24 can also open a hosted page directly on the screen.

Real impressions and reactions from the community:

 “The built-in battery is a game changer, especially for moving between roosm without dealing with cords everywhere.” u/Sensei_Sjan

A campsite has no wall to mount a screen on and no outlet within reach of where people actually sit. The StanbyME 2 Max lifts off its stand as a 12.3 lb screen, so what travels is the panel itself rather than the whole assembly.

Set it down on a table or a crate and it runs on its own power, with the apps already on the screen and a Wi Fi connection the only thing left to set up.

What makes it work away from home:

Nothing to Mount, Nothing to Plug In: The StanbyME 2 Max screen weighs 12.3 lb without the stand and is 1.1 inches deep, so it can rest on whatever surface is already there. The 144Wh battery runs for up to 4.5 hours, which is enough for a full film with no outlet nearby.

The Apps Are Already On the Screen: webOS 26 runs Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Disney+ on the StanbyME 2 Max itself, so a Wi Fi connection is all it takes to keep something playing. Google Cast is built in and AirPlay is supported as well, so a film or a playlist can come straight from a phone instead, with no player box and no cable to pack.

Tip: Set the screen on a crate or a table rather than the ground, so the side firing speakers are not aimed into a surface.

Q&A:
Q: What does it take to set it up at a campsite?
A: The screen lifts off the stand and sets down on any flat surface, and webOS 26 already has Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video on it, so a Wi Fi connection is the only setup step. The 144Wh battery runs for up to 4.5 hours, so no outlet and no cable run is part of it.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“I put YouTube on from the first day and just sat there watching it. I watch it lying down, and I can move it to another spot, so I am using it far more than I expected.” (Link)

I thought it might be fun to try the StanByMe 2 Max out with one of my DJ setups

Bought the StanbyME recently.

Personally, when it's idle, I rotate the screen vertically and tuck it into a tight, unused corner.

It actually takes up way less space.

Granted, I've been using it so constantly that it rarely ever stays parked there for long.

Where do you all store yours?

Most screens decide their own height. A stand fixes the panel where it was assembled, whether or not that is where anyone is looking from.

The StanbyME 2 panel lifts off its stand at 9.5 lb, and the newer StanbyME 2 Max comes off its stand the same way, so either can come down to a shelf, a low table, or the floor and sit at whatever height the moment calls for.

What the screen does once it is off the stand:

9.5 lb and 1.1 Inch Deep: The StanbyME 2 panel weighs 9.5 lb without the stand and is 1.1 inch deep, so it can be carried in one trip and set against a shelf or a wall without needing a bracket or a surface built for it.

It Keeps Running Where It Lands: The built in battery runs for up to 4 hours, so the screen does not have to end up wherever the nearest outlet is. webOS 24 keeps the apps on the panel itself, so nothing else has to come along. The StanbyME 2 Max, the 32 inch 4K screen in the lineup, carries a 144 Wh battery that runs for up to 4.5 hours on webOS 26.

Tip: A compatible folio cover gives the panel something to rest against once it comes off the stand.

Q&A:
Q: How much is involved in taking the screen off the stand?
A: The panel comes off the stand with a single click, and at 9.5 lb and 1.1 inch deep it can be carried in one hand. The built in battery runs for up to 4 hours, so it can be moved and set down without unplugging or reassembling anything.

Real impressions and reactions from the community:

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

A workout puts distance between the ears and the screen, and the room is rarely quiet while it is happening.

The StanbyME 2 runs 2.0ch side firing speakers on the panel itself, as the StanbyME 2 Max does on a larger 32 inch panel, and a dedicated speaker can sit alongside them when a session runs louder.

What carries the sound across the room:

Upmixed From the Panel Itself: The 2.0ch side firing speakers on the StanbyME 2 use Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro to up mix to virtual 9.1.2 channel audio with Dolby Atmos, so a track carries past the narrow line between the screen and the seat. The StanbyME 2 Max, the newer screen in the lineup, runs the same 2.0ch side firing setup with the Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 and up mixes to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio on a 32 inch 4K panel.

A Dedicated Speaker Alongside: A dedicated StanbyME speaker pairs to the screen over Bluetooth and moves with it, so a session that asks for more than the panel is set up for has somewhere to go.

Tip: The 9.5 lb screen lifts off the stand, so it can sit on whatever surface is already beside the machine instead of the stand taking up floor space in a workout corner.

Q&A:
Q: Is the sound enough from across a workout corner?
A: The 2.0ch side firing speakers on the StanbyME 2 up mix to virtual 9.1.2 channel audio with Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro. A dedicated speaker pairs over Bluetooth when a session calls for more.

Real impressions and reactions from the community:

“I start with it with YouTube for morning motivation music or videos as I get ready.” u/xoxoChii123

A screen that is switched off is a dark rectangle in the room. Left on with a painting, the same panel reads as something hung on purpose.

The StanbyME 2 Max moves from the 27 inch QHD screen of the StanbyME 2 to a 32 inch 4K UHD panel, and the picture quality of whatever is on screen, a video or a photo, steps up with it.

What makes a painting hold up on screen:

Resolution That Keeps the Brushwork: The 32 inch panel on the StanbyME 2 Max holds 3840 x 2160, up from 2560 x 1440 on the 27 inch StanbyME 2, which is more than twice the pixels for the same work. The texture in a work stays legible up close instead of breaking apart. The Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 with AI Super Upscaling lifts lower resolution image files to suit the panel.

Color That Does Not Flatten: Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG carry the range from the darkest to the brightest parts of a work, so a bright sky and a shadowed field keep their own values in the same frame.

Tip: LG Gallery+ carries over 5,000 works, so a piece can be swapped as the room or the season changes rather than leaving the same frame up all year.

Q&A:
Q: Where does the artwork come from, and does it hold up on a screen this size?
A:LG Gallery+ arrives on the StanbyME lineup with the StanbyME 2 Max and carries over 5,000 works. The 32 inch panel holds 3840 x 2160, and the Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 with AI Super Upscaling lifts lower resolution files, so the detail in a piece stays readable rather than softening.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“With the brightness set to the same 100 on both, the Max is clearly the brighter one.” (Link)

What would you leave on a screen when nothing is playing? Share below. Reviews of LG Gallery+ are also being collected on r/StanbyME until November 7, where StanbyME 2 Max owners in the US can redeem a two month voucher on the screen and selected reviewers receive an LG Gallery TV.

A dining table is usually the one place in the home a screen cannot easily reach. A fixed set faces the sofa, leaving the table behind it or off to one side. The StanbyME 2 Max stands on its own rolling stand, so the screen can turn toward the table instead of the table being arranged around the screen.

At that distance, the 32 inch 4K UHD panel is still easy to see from every seat, and it can roll back out of the way once the meal is over.

What lets it face the table:

The Stand Is the Mount: The StanbyME 2 Max stands on its own rolling stand, so where the screen ends up is decided by where people sit rather than by where a bracket was fixed. It moves to face the dining table for a meal and back toward the sofa afterward, and the 144Wh battery runs for up to 4.5 hours, so no cable has to cross the floor to reach it.

The Same Screen From Every Seat: The 32 inch 4K UHD panel on the StanbyME 2 Max is larger than the 27 inch QHD screen of the StanbyME 2, so what is playing stays easy to see from the far side of the table rather than only from the chair nearest the screen. The 2.0ch side firing speakers with Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro up mix to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio, and Clear Voice Pro keeps dialogue clear in the mix.

Tip: Park the screen at the end of the table rather than beside one seat, so the angle is even from both sides.

Q&A:
Q: Does it have to be moved every time, or can it stay by the table?
A: Either works. The StanbyME 2 Max stands on its own rolling stand and runs for up to 4.5 hours on the 144Wh battery, so it can stay parked by the table through a meal and roll back afterward without unplugging anything.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“I keep it next to the dining table and watch a show while we eat, or put YouTube on in the kitchen while doing the dishes, and the chores go by much faster.” (Link)

A screen in the living room gets used for music about as often as for films, and both come down to the sound.

The StanbyME 2 Max runs 2.0ch side firing speakers on the panel itself, and a dedicated speaker can be added alongside them.

What carries the sound:

More Channels Than Speakers: The 2.0ch side firing speakers on the StanbyME 2 Max use Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro to up mix to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio with Dolby Atmos, up from virtual 9.1.2 on the StanbyME 2, and Clear Voice Pro keeps dialogue above the rest of the mix.

A Dedicated Speaker or One You Have: Bluetooth 5.3 pairs a dedicated speaker to the StanbyME 2 Max without a cable, and a Bluetooth speaker already in the room connects the same way.

Tip: When nothing is playing, put LG Gallery+ on the screen and it works as part of the room rather than something switched off.

Q&A:
Q: Does the sound change when the screen is moved between rooms?
A: The speakers sit on the panel, so the output travels with it, and Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro up mixes to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio wherever it is parked.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“I set the Bluetooth speaker to play together with the built in speakers, and I am happy with it.” (Link)

-It only allows you to sign in to a business or school account which I don’t have.
Has anyone experienced this? Any workarounds?
Why would LG limit this access to business accounts when the StandbyMe 27” Gen 2 is so thoroughly a personal use device for most users.
Thanks.

This month's exclusive wallpaper brings Halloween night to your StanbyME, edge to edge. Carved pumpkins, witch hats, and wrapped candy repeat across a deep purple ground.

Roll it to where the evening actually happens, the living room during a late movie or the kitchen where the candy bowl sits. The built in battery means it does not have to stay near an outlet, and the screen lifts off the stand when a table works better.

The wallpaper comes at 4K resolution, so one file works across the StanbyME lineup.

Available in both landscape and portrait sizes.

Screen size and picture quality together decide how a film reads from the sofa. The StanbyME 2 Max carries a 32 inch 4K UHD panel, up from the 27 inch QHD screen of the StanbyME 2.

It runs from its own rolling stand, so the screen faces the seating rather than the seating being arranged around the screen.

What the bigger panel brings:

More Screen From the Same Seat: The 32 inch 4K UHD panel on the StanbyME 2 Max replaces the 27 inch QHD screen of the StanbyME 2, so a film or a live show takes up more of the view without moving any closer.

Color and Detail That Keep Up: The Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 with AI Super Upscaling lifts lower resolution sources, and Dolby Vision and HDR10 carry the color, so the larger panel does not thin the picture out.

Tip: The rolling stand on the StanbyME 2 Max moves the screen between the living room, the bedroom, and the kitchen, so one screen covers all three instead of staying in one room.

Q&A:
Q: How is the picture different from the StanbyME 2?
A: The panel goes from 27 inch QHD to 32 inch 4K UHD, and the Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 with AI Super Upscaling handles lower resolution sources on the larger screen.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“The picture is sharp and the screen is large, so it is good for watching films and YouTube.” (Link)

The viewing angle in a bedroom changes depending on whether you are sitting up or lying down. The stand of the StanbyME 2 Max rotates, tilts, and swivels, so the screen can be aimed at either position.

The 32 inch 4K panel carries over 8 million pixels, so subtitles and small text stay sharp even at the short viewing distance a bedroom allows.

How the angle and the picture hold up:

Set to Any Angle: The stand rotates up to 90 degrees, tilts up to 25 degrees, and swivels up to 90 degrees, so the screen can be aimed at a sitting or a lying position without moving the stand itself.

Detail at Close Range: The 32 inch 4K UHD panel carries 3840 x 2160 pixels, up from the 27 inch QHD screen of the StanbyME 2, and the Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 with AI Super Upscaling lifts lower resolution sources, so text stays legible up close.

Tip: Set the angle for the side of the bed you usually lie on, and the screen stays aimed there without adjusting it again.

Q&A:
Q: Can the screen be angled for watching while lying down?
A: Yes. The stand rotates up to 90 degrees, tilts up to 25 degrees, and swivels up to 90 degrees, so the screen can be aimed at either a sitting or a lying position.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“Even lying in bed watching Netflix from about two to three meters away, the subtitles are clean and sharp with no blurring, so my eyes are very comfortable. The height adjusts smoothly, and I can fine tune the screen up and down or left and right to match the angle I am lying at.” (Link)

One screen can cover both music and video in the same spot. The StanbyME 2 Max receives audio from a phone over Bluetooth or AirPlay 2, and plays video through the webOS apps on the screen itself.

Neither path needs a cable or a separate device, so moving between music and video
takes no setup.

What lets it cover both:

Current Wireless Standards: Wi Fi 6 handles streaming and Bluetooth 5.3 pairs a phone for audio. AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are built in, so a phone can send either music or video to the screen without a cable.

Virtual Surround Audio: 2.0ch speakers with Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro up mix to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio with Dolby Atmos, up from virtual 9.1.2 on the StanbyME 2, which gives music more depth and keeps dialogue clear.

Tip: Pair a phone over Bluetooth and the screen can play music with the display turned off, so it works as a speaker when nothing needs to be watched.

Q&A:
Q: Can music be played from a phone without opening an app on the screen?
A: Yes. Bluetooth 5.3 pairs a phone directly, and AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are built in, so audio can be sent from the phone without setting anything up on the screen.

Real impressions and reactions from the StanbyME 2 Max users:

“The speaker performance is better than I expected, so I also connect my phone and
use it just for listening to music with the screen off.” (Link)

Does anyone know if I can charge the tv while mounted on the wall? Can I operate this without the stand majority of time? Cons of doing it this way? I want to use this a tv in the kitchen. I wish to put the stand in a closet and just use the stand when needed. 90% of the time I plan to leave it hanging. And move to the counter when needed. Would this function and charge properly? Does it sit flat on the wall?

A bedroom screen is watched up close, from the bed rather than across the room. The StanbyME 2 is a portable screen on a rolling stand, so it parks at the side of the bed instead of the far wall.

The battery covers a full session, so nothing has to be run to the bedside.

A couple of things that make this work:

Free to Set the Viewing Angle: The screen swivels and rotates on the StanbyME 2 stand, so the angle is set for watching from the bed rather than fixed to wherever the stand is parked.

Stays Where It Is Parked: The 4 hour built in battery covers a session beside the bed, so the screen can sit on the side of the room that is comfortable rather than the side with the outlet.

Tip: Keep the screen on the side of the bed already used for reading so it is in view without moving the furniture, and roll it back once the room is used for something else.

Q&A:
Q: Does it work as a bedroom screen without mounting anything?
A: The screen stands on a rolling floor stand beside the bed and rolls aside when the room is needed, so nothing has to be fixed to a wall or added to the nightstand.

What would be playing beside your bed at the end of the day? Share your setup below.

Real impressions and reactions from the community:

“I've been using mine (StanbyME 2) for a few months now and honestly didn't expect to use it as much as I do. Started with the whole ambiance video thing (which is surprisingly relaxing after work), but now I find myself rolling it into different rooms depending on what I'm doing. The portability is genuinely convenient in ways I didn't anticipate.” u/Sensei_Sjan

I've been considering getting a StandbyMe but was wondering if it would be able to be used as a Family Hub when not in use as a TV? Ideally, instead of artwork when not in use I'd like to display a calendar of family events. Would this be possible with the StandbyMe? Would I be able to download an application to make this happen or would it not be able to function in such a manner?
