The original StanByMe portable TV and the Inspector Gadget-like briefcase follow-up were surprisingly popular, so of course, were getting a new one to kick off 2025. I like to imagine LG literally toting the StanbyME 2 to CES by the carrying straps you can affix to it, as the rep did in this video below.The 27-inch 1440p touchscreen on the StanbyME 2 should offer a sharper picture than the originals 1080p. It also lasts longer with a four-hour battery life, up from three and a half, but LG has not revealed pricing or availability details.You can still mount the TV to a floor stand that holds and charges it, but LG is unashamedly emphasizing its portability with the carrying strap, which you can also use to hang from a wall like a picture frame on a sturdy enough hook. Its also compatible with a folio cover that protects the display during transport and doubles as a tabletop stand, and you can magnetically attach the remote to the top of the TV. It has two USB-C ports that you can use for charging and peripherals like webcams, plus a traditional HDMI input.These upgrades feel relatively minor, but if you aspire to be a modern-dayRadio Raheemwith a TV on your shoulder and, presumably, the matching pill-shaped StanbyME XT7 Bluetooth speaker under your arm the StanbyME 2 might be the television for you. 1/7 Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge1/7 Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge
