Highly versatile N truly…

LG StandbyMe first debuted in Korea and was sold out in less than an hour. It finally hit our shore and I am very happy to own it. Let me share my review after 4 weeks of usage.
The screen is heavy for its size. The assembly video is easy to follow and I can get it setup in less than 15 minutes. The build is very robust and supported by a heavy base, it hardly wobbles when wheel around and leaves no marks or scratches on marble or wooden flooring. Pairing process is very straight forward and I recommend to start with an app called LG ThinQ. Once it is done, you can control your screen from your phone or with the included IR remote control. You can cast your phone screen to StandbyME or use it as a bluetooth speaker. On my android device, I could easily cast my content over and at the same time use the touch control on the LG screen to navigate. The included holder allows me to clip my phone behind the screen. Very versatile and convenient.
LG did a wonderful job to include stereo speakers behind the screen. At level 12 setting, the sound can easily fill a good size living/dining room. Audio streaming or action movie sound effects are equally awesome. The other amazing thing about this screen is its adjustable swivel base. You can raise/lower it or rotate to portrait or landscape mode based on your needs; allowing you to use it anywhere in the house in your most comfortable viewing position.
The best part of the design is the screen is wireless. The battery can power the screen for around 3 hours, more than enough for most movies today. Throughout my 4 weeks, I refrained from using the USB/HDMI connection and proved it to be truly wireless and versatile.
LG StandbyME is powered by WebOS and has a suite of apps (albeit limited). The touch screen makes it very easy to navigate. One of my favorite apps is Spotify; I use it in screen off mode and I am able to stream for almost 7 hours on a single charge. I also use the screen a lot as a “standing desk” during my WFH days. I can attend zoom meetings, read and reply emails when connected to bluetooth keyboard and mouse. If you judge this product by its price tag, you might think it is over priced. Honestly, this is not just a screen. It is packed with innovations; it can be your TV, streaming radio or even work/home PC. When not in use, simply tuck it at a corner, its cool color tone and fabric back will blend very well with your home furnishing. I highly recommend this product!
