A picture upgrade
First and foremost, the StanbyME 2 is a better-looking TV. It’s the same 27-inch size as its predecessor, but it now delivers a higher-resolution picture (1440p instead of the original’s 1080p).
The smart TV runs on LG’s webOS and is powered by the latest-generation Alpha 8 AI processor. According to the brand, it can harness AI to detect what you’re watching and automatically enhance picture and sound quality accordingly.
A touchscreen that detaches
Like the original model, the StanbyME 2 has a built-in battery (which promises up to four hours of runtime on a single charge) and comes on a stand with wheels, allowing you to roll the TV from room to room and without needing a power connection.
However, unlike the original, the StanbyME 2 can be detached from the stand. You can then hang the TV on the wall, hold it like a tablet or place it on a surface. You can purchase optional accessories, such as a folio cover or a strap to hang it on a wall or stand it upright.
