【Lena Paul - The Next Morning】

If you spend a little time on Lena Paul - The Next MorningTikTok, you might have come across this viral portable battery-powered television from LG called the StanByMe.

This 27" LED touchscreen has become a must-have for road tripping influencers. The popularity of this $999 device seems to have even surprised LG based on what Mashable heard from the company at this year's CES. In order to adapt to how the StanByMe was being used, LG launched the StanByMe Go in 2023, which basically put the StanByMe in a briefcase with easy pop-out access for those travelling content creators.

Now, at CES 2025, LG has launched a brand new model, the StanByMe 2, as well as three new accessories to help display this portable touch screen television.

Meet StanByMe 2

The new StanByMe 2 introduces some small, but important upgrades. 

The biggest change gives the StanByMe 2 a resolution bump over the previous model. The StanByMe 2 offers a 1440p picture resolution as opposed to the 1080p of the previous models.

The battery on the StanByMe 2 has also been upgraded and now offers 4 hours of battery life on a charge. The previous model offered 3 hours of battery life. In addition, the StanByMe 2's remote offers a magnet attachment to the portable TV, making it harder to misplace.

A smaller improvement is that there’s now a magnetic hub to attach the remote. There’s a USB-C port up here so you can attach a webcam for video conferencing, too. Not that you’re getting this TV if picture quality is your top priority, but the resolution offers a welcome improvement from 1080p to 1440p. Perhaps more importantly, the battery life is improved by one hour for 4 total hours of playback on one charge.

StanByMe accessories help display the TV

With the previous StanByMe model, the only real "official" way to display the device was via LG's rolling stand, which acted as an easy-to-move tripod so users could simply roll the TV to whichever room they preferred.

At CES 2025, LG not only introduced the aforementioned entirely new StanByMe model, but it also unveiled three new accessories to help display the portable TV.

In addition to that, another new StanByMe 2 accessory provide a photo frame type stand for those who want to display the device vertically.

Finally, a new harness-like accessory provides an easy way for users to hang the StanByMe 2 on their wall. LG was showcasing a cafe menu on the StanByMe2 display using this accessory, which honestly felt like a pretty great use case.
