LG StanbyMe Deep Dive Review (in 2024)

[@shaggylamar4894]

Whether it's 900$ or 1500$...3h of screen on time and 4h of charging time shouldnt exist for any product in 2024

[@BrownleeStudioProductions]

Great review. I just got this TV. Another answer to “who is this for, and why not just use an IPad”. 1. Outdoor terrace use when a projector isn’t feasible. 2. There isn’t a 27” IPad. If there were it would be $5k at least.

[@nancysdsk]

Thank you for your input.

[@Sacgirl03]

This currently sells for $999 at Best Buy. I love the idea of rolling it into the kitchen to watch tv while I cook, rolling it outside or a spare room to work out, rolling it into our spare room when we have guests. Hoping I can pick it up on a good deal for Black Friday.

[@hazimtahir0]

I'd respectfully disagree. On the sole decision of buying this as a small business owner. I was on the edge considering whether to buy a TV for my meeting room and my personal office when the Stanbyme came into the picture. I use this as an android user, Casting my tab ultra onto it allows me to touch the lg screen as if it's a giant samsung android device, so there's no loss of functionality there. It's perfect because when my staff enters my room, instead of pivoting my tablet screen to them, I cast it onto my screen and get my job done. When clients enter I roll it Into the meeting room and do the same thing. So far it's serving my purpose, and I'd say this device maybe better off used for business purposes more than one may think

[@deraraljarrah9138]

I respect your review. thanks for helping me deciding not to buy this until i see an improvement in its specifications such as better speaker

[@arilee1505]

I feel like it’s great for people who don’t watch much tv, but want a device that’s bigger than tablets, and easier to move around even in the standing life style - since an i pad can’t stand so high in the middle of the ground. But it is a shame that some accessibility features a little laggy.. and its resolution is a bit short coming 😓

[@bkkbound]

I have an iPad on a stand but still searching for a stand that matches the quality of this, it’s beautifully designed and hopefully others follow with better offers or LG release upgraded versions..

[@phongluunguyen4177]

thank you for the review, i knew it for a long time but not sure if i should get it, now i finally have the answer

[@grizzZlyBear]

I was seriously thinking of getting one, but I see now why it never got big. The software killed it. I'll get a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and just move it closer. Thank you for the review!

[@tiffanyt9329]

I was thinking of getting this too, but I realized LG standbyme is not tv because it doesn't have atsc. That's what I did, I got the s8 ultra tab instead and got 15.6 inch sylvox tv portable battery.

[@grizzZlyBear]

@@tiffanyt9329 holy crap, that thing is like 400$.

[@DRIVEWITHDRAY]

I really love the idea of this. But after a few frustrating demos at Best Buy and reading up on it. It simply isn’t worth the money. It works pretty badly. If they make an updated version with better specs, I’ll be all over it. Cause it is a convenient device

[@Lordsofbutterflies]

Can you delete stock apps? Is there a storage capacity for downloads?

[@NiNi-jx5gi]

Does it work when it’s plugged in and charging?

[@ramyhalilou7480]

Yea

[@vinni3c]

LG just sent me one of these as a surprise gift during a promo!

[@HabibiGolf]

Perfect for golf simulator. Airplay the app should work?

[@lbrank01]

I just purchased during Amazon Prime Day, and received the device today. However, the Touch Screen is not working. In the upper right hand corner of the screen there is a pop-up icon with a hand and lock (Touch Lock) whenever I touch the screen.

[@jusTOOfresh]

How much did you pay?

[@oliverk3913]

Any other alternative products with this form that uses android tv os? Thanks

[@carlospinoy]

$1,499? I bought it this morning at Best Buy for $896. Why’d you spend so much on it?

[@VittorTech]

All of a sudden there’s all these deals!

[@carlospinoy]

Love the review, but also love the product so far. I don’t think I woulda bought it for $1,500 but $900 was just about what I was willing to pay.

[@thetruthhurts9220]

@@carlospinoyeven $900 is ridiculous. I didn’t buy it because the price point was never justified, in my opinion. This thing should be $500 max. Luckily, I just won it on an auction for $120 lol.

[@NamiImaan]

I’ve not seen it priced that high. Bought for $900 as well.

[@shoikacaribbeanqueen5912]

[@ThomasGonzalez92]

Love those pixels that the camera super sizes

[@heycharnay9180]

This is a product I low key regret but…I’m not trying to get rid of it I bought it for my birthday I just store it in my office

[@xiomara4362]

I think it’s a nifty gadget but it’s definitely overpriced

[@cubedmack]

Hell yeah!

[@Liznoir_Official]

$1500 in my country

[@Traveljunkie01]

I want one but I should wait until price drops tremendously

[@Williejmyers]

Hello, I was looking for this to do presentations and zoom calls. Is that possible

[@princesszoe8558]

I want to go from my gym room to my bedroom I would if I can download peleton app onto it? Or maybe have to ajrplay from my phone ?

[@dcroteau805]

Can you use this as a digital add screen?

[@TheJennyg76]

Can you add apps ? Download say a karaoke app ? Then can it be hooked up with a sound system

[@FlashzTube]

Can I ask. I have a room where I am unable to put a tv in because of the set up. I am looking for something I can move and my sole purpose for it is to be used as a TV. I am either looking at this, otherwise considering an ipad pro 13’’ and buying a floor stand. But that is obviously half the size of the lg stand buy me. But obviously is a more complete product all in all. How is the sound quality, screen quality etc and can it be used while its on charge. Do you recommend me one of this or would you say its better just the buy an ipad and compromise on size? Basically what I am asking is. Would an ipad pro be better at being a tv than this “tv” 😂

[@VittorTech]

I think I would choose the LG. If it’s going to be full time for watching entertainment the larger display will go a long way. I didnt love the operating system so if I were personally going this route I would also consider plugging in an Apple TV or Google Chromecast to make it better. Also consider the speaker that mounts on the base. Together it would make a more complete entertainment system.

[@FlashzTube]

@@VittorTech and the screen quality. Looks like something that light glares off of. Can it be challenging to watch something in brightness or do you think the overall screen quality is adequate for what it is. Also do you think its only worth it for less price than rrp?

[@VittorTech]

Yes there would be some screen glare if it’s directly facing light. It has this sort of matte finish that will pick up light. Still useable but noticeable. Personally I think it’s worth less than MSRP - perhaps if you can find it for a deal somewhere.

[@FlashzTube]

@@VittorTech lastly, I take it this could be used while plugged in and charging?

[@VittorTech]

It also has a built in battery so you can unplug it and keep using it for ~2-3 hours.

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

Does this work as a 2nd screen?

[@bennettgould5546]

This would be perfect for a minimalist nyc shoebox apartment

[@tiffanyt9329]

This is not a TV because it doesn't have an atsc, so you can't watch local shows. I was thinking about buying this myself because it has a big screen but decided against it because of it. It's just a big tablet and not a TV. I bought a 14.6-inch screen s8 ultra tablet and a Sylvox 15.6-inch screen portable battery TV instead.

[@SukiLaBarre]

Has anyone used it for news and games? For example, does the New York Times app work on this device? Considering it for someone with poor eyesight who likes to read and play games but needs a bright screen.

[@Beqa.MusiCALL]

Is it powered by android?

[@chrisrosadonyc]

should just be a portable smart tv with precise voice controls . tablet features make it wonky

[@GamedayOracle]

Can you link bluetooth headphones to it?

[@VittorTech]

Yes

[@TheJennyg76]

I’m looking for a touch screen tv that I can use for karaoke so they can add their songs theirs selves

[@EsmeAmira]

Cand i play my ps5 and Xbox On this?

[@VittorTech]

Yes you can!

[@jennifertrice5861]

Has anyone used it with Xbox? First person shooter games?

@@bestlife1014exactly! Like what?

[@JoseVillegas-ip7qo]

A 27”tv that is $1,000 for 60hz, 1080p lmao…. That is insane. This thing is worth $500 tops.

Yes! Bollywood films last longer than the battery life 😂. Hopefully future generations will have better battery life.
