LG 27-Inch StanbyME Go Portable Smart 1080P Touch Screen (27LX5QKNA, 2023 Model), Calming Beige

This portable television has to be one of my favorite purchases. I have it in my bedroom and I will say it’s far better than having a standard TV. I understand the controversy that comes with this device, beginning with the price and inconvenience compared to purchasing a standard television, however the functionality outweighs the cons. The set up was simple, brightness and sound quality is outstanding, especially given that I was considering purchasing the speaker, I’ve decided I no longer need it. You’re able to download multiple streaming platforms and other applications as you would a phone or smart TV and can utilize screen mirroring for video calls and even games. What surprised me the most was that I was able to screen mirror my mobile game to the TV! It is easily accessible and portable from room to room and the height can be adjusted to fit your needs. The only con with this TV that I have found so far is the battery life, which lasts an estimated 3 or so hours. However the charger is pretty long, I’d say approximately 15 feet. I would recommend this TV regardless of that slight inconvenience but I can’t say I regret buying.

I bought (or shall I say, "splurged" for) this as it was purchased as a want as opposed to a need. Nevertheless, I am so beyond happy with this purchase.It arrived quickly and packaged well. It is kind of heavy. Even being a female who is in physically good shape, getting this into my car took some doing by myself. Nevertheless, mission accomplished :-).There are just two pieces (sans the power cord) that need to be put together -- The base and the screen. The base is why this item is so heavy. Obviously, it comes with instructions; still I missed a step with the cord that connects the monitor to the base, and it required removing the monitor in order to fix it.Normally, I am better at reading/looking at something on paper in order to understand what it is that I am studying. However, that was not the case with this item. I should have used YouTube as my guide because once I locked the monitor onto the base, I could not, based on the instructions, figure out how to remove it.I pulled up a YouTube video that showed me how to remove the monitor as well as showed me where I went wrong with the power cord. I mention this because that is the only part of the assembly that you want to make sure you get right. It's so you're able to hide the cord. Otherwise, for those who are not directionally challenged such as myself :-), it should take no more than 10 mins to put together after unboxing, less if you're not doing it by yourself.Connecting to my home network was a breeze and the picture is beautiful. I was not expecting the picture quality to be so vivid, but it is. The home screen is easy to navigate and while it is a touchscreen, when I am watching YouTube TV, if I touch the screen and pause a video, I cannot start the program again from the touch screen. I might be doing something wrong, but I have to use the remote to re-start the video. No big deal, but I need to keep researching this.Of course, one of the best features is its mobility. It rolls easily (I have hardwood floors so not sure how well it would do on low-pile carpet) and arranging the screen from horizontal to vertical is effortless. It's also great that I can pair my earbuds with the unit so when I am in the kitchen, and need to move about, I can still hear what is going on even if I cannot see it. That feature alone works for me because you don't have to worry about the volume disturbing others.There is only ONE con and that is the battery life. I can get about 2.5, maybe 3 hours of video watching before I need to charge it again. I do not know why, but I was expecting longer. Still, it is not an issue at all and I would buy this item again and again.Highly recommend.

So great and easy to setup

There are so many reviews on this, so will skip to the bottom line.There are so many other brands that are more functional or cheaper, so why would you choose the LG StanbyMe. For the price of this LG, you can buy one with 4K resolution and longer battery lift.Negative thing about LG:- 1080P resolution. Come on. Yes, you can see pixels..depending on what you are watching. Don't expect qualities from iPads/iPhone.- Takes about 10-15 seconds before streaming video buffer catches up on resolution, even at wifi speed of 500-700MBPS. My guess is that the wifi on it is not the latest.- Battery does last about 2 hrs, but short vs. other brands.- It's on LG WebOS, no access to Google Store. Apps are limited to what LG WebOs has, but big apps are available.- Touch screen usefulness is...lacking. Other than Youtube, need to use the remote or virtual remote on the screen to navigate. Other apps are not designed for touch interface.- Not a tablet set up as with other brands.- No true VPN service/app. There are 2 VPN apps available, but after reading what it does....wouldn't recommend it for anyone.- Not LG monitor that can be used for photo/video color editing....not that level.Good things:- Definitely the design. From the front, not much difference as other brands, but back of the monitor is definitely an advantage. Other brands looks like they mounted regular computer monitor on stand. The fabric back and design of the back side of LG definitely is more elegant and nice to look at. It does not look like it's any monitor just stock on the pole. Color and adjustable mount (G4 iMac copy) is definitely more elegant than other brand.- Sound is good enough...definitely better than what you get from computer monitor. There is AI option for the sound that give more of a surround sounds. Nice touch on that one.- More likely to have updated OS. Other brands are not "certified" or blessed/ EDLA android/google store. The likelihood of those brands not being updated is really high and not all apps from Google Store will work on those. There is more chance that LG will keep their WebOS updated and supporting Apps will work. It's same WebOS that LG has on the other monitors.-LG TV Channel app allows you to watch TV channels...there are tons of channels including local channel access.-Airplay works like a charm. Many of other brands on "unblessed" Android/Google Store will not airplay/stream Hulu/Disney. Works fine on LG.You can definitely get 4K monitor, better battery time, and real tablet function from other brands. LG StandbyMe's advantage is really the design and WebOS. It's not a true tablet interface and has limited apps. However, it will more likely to have continuous support vs. other brands. Even on sale, LG was about $800. It should really cost that much on regular price. Regular price of $1000-$1200 with 4K resolution and 4 hr battery would make more sense. Touch screen function is not there, so you could actually make one (as done by many in Korea where LG is from), buying the portable stand, battery, and Samsung 4K 27-32 inch M8/M6 monitor. Not going to look pretty, but will give you better function, resolution, and usefulness.LG StanbyMe is like an Apple product. Design is well done and high point of the product...expensive but more likely to last longer than other brands. Functionality and customization may be lacking or less than other brands, but it just works. If you are going to buy it, DO NOT buy it at regular price.

I love it, like a big iPad on wheels

Love the convenience of this item. I like that it has wheels so I can use it in any room with ease. The picture quality is good. It’s connects easily and I like how it can adjust to different heights. This tv was built well and is durable.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas! He uses it almost every night while taking a bath. It is also nice to have while soaking in our jacuzzi at night. I can’t wait to use it for tail gating. Battery life to this point has been about 2 1/2 hours per charge.
