It\u2019s a 27-inch touchscreen TV that\u2019s built into (and protected by) a large military-grade briefcase \u2014 complete with an integrated sound system, HDMI connectivity, and the same webOS software that runs on the company\u2019s regular TVs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Theoretically, you can bring it anywhere, but at 28 pounds, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/8836598\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.lg.com\/us\/tvs\/lg-27lx5qkna\">StanbyME Go<\/a> is far from a light load, and it\u2019s a stretch to call it very portable. Road trips are no issue, but I never got bold enough to bring this thing on a flight. For one, I didn\u2019t want to deal with TSA scrutiny over this gadget that looks like a <em>Mission Impossible<\/em> prop. But the briefcase is too wide to satisfy the carry-on requirements at most airlines, regardless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But it\u2019s\u2026 it\u2019s unique as hell. And that\u2019s what has resonated with me over these last couple months of testing the terribly-named StanbyME Go. You can take this briefcase TV tailgating; you can bring it camping; if you\u2019re traveling somewhere, it can be a mobile entertainment and gaming solution for yourself or the kids. I\u2019ve had friends say they\u2019d be open to using something like this in lieu of a projector in rooms where a permanent TV might be unwelcome. When it comes time to lift it up, that excitement often dampens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<aside class=\"duet--article--scorecard mb-16 mt-40 w-full rounded-sm border border-franklin p-16\">\n<div class=\"md:mb-12 md:flex md:border-t md:border-franklin md:pt-16\">\n<div class=\"border-t border-franklin pt-16 md:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-8 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:leading-140 [&amp;&gt;ul]:my-0  [&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-16 [&amp;&gt;ul]:py-0 md:[&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-0 [&amp;_*]:font-polysans-mono  [&amp;_*]:text-14 [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_li]:marker:text-franklin [&amp;_p]:font-light [&amp;_strong]:font-medium [&amp;_ul]:font-light md:w-1\/2 md:border-t-0 md:first:border-r md:first:pr-16 md:last:pl-16\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-8 font-polysans-mono font-medium uppercase leading-140 tracking-12\">The Good<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list my-20 list-disc pl-18 marker:text-blurple\/100 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Unique and surprisingly fun<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Plenty of entertainment choices between webOS apps, HDMI, and AirPlay<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Speakers are actually good<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"border-t border-franklin pt-16 md:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-8 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:leading-140 [&amp;&gt;ul]:my-0  [&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-16 [&amp;&gt;ul]:py-0 md:[&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-0 [&amp;_*]:font-polysans-mono  [&amp;_*]:text-14 [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_li]:marker:text-franklin [&amp;_p]:font-light [&amp;_strong]:font-medium [&amp;_ul]:font-light md:w-1\/2 md:border-t-0 md:first:border-r md:first:pr-16 md:last:pl-16\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-8 font-polysans-mono font-medium uppercase leading-140 tracking-12\">The Bad<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list my-20 list-disc pl-18 marker:text-blurple\/100 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">It\u2019s damn heavy<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Unimpressive display specs for the price<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Battery life can be an issue<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">No water resistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"mb-40 flex justify-center font-polysans-mono text-12 font-light text-blurple dark:text-franklin\"><a title=\"How we rate and review products\" class=\"border-b\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/pages\/how-we-rate\">How we rate and review products<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Aside from its heft, the biggest thing going against the StanbyME Go is the $1,200 that LG is asking for what, at the end of the day, is a pretty unremarkable 27-inch LCD panel. It\u2019s a 1080p screen with so-so viewing angles and a peak brightness of 500 nits. That\u2019s more than fine for indoor viewing, and I\u2019ve also found it adequate for most outdoor usage so long as you\u2019re not in direct sunlight. (The display\u2019s anti-reflective coating helps out here big time.) But if you\u2019re judging this thing by display specs alone, paying $1,200 for it would be lunacy. I would go wild for a 4K OLED version of the StanbyME Go, though that would likely rocket its price up into $2,000 territory. The nicheness of this product is inherently part of why it\u2019s more expensive than many would prefer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The display\u2019s peak brightness of 500 nits is fine in the shade or on a cloudy day.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The claimed Dolby Vision HDR support is laughable, considering this display\u2019s limited brightness. The same goes for the four-channel \u201cDolby Atmos\u201d speaker system, though I was surprised by its fullness since the audio is coming from drivers unconventionally built into one side of a briefcase. And despite the fact that the speakers are positioned <em>behind<\/em> the screen when it\u2019s raised, the sound remains clear. Just don\u2019t expect much in the way of immersion or surround trickery here. If you need more impactful sound when tailgating, you can always pair up a large Bluetooth speaker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>At almost 30 pounds, the StanbyME Go can be a chore to lug around.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">To see any value in the StanbyME Go, you\u2019ve got to <em>try<\/em> and appreciate the sum of its parts. That average screen is attached to a very sturdy articulating arm that lets the display be used in three different ways. It can lay flat for touchscreen games like chess or when playing music on the speakers from your phone. Pull the screen up and you can position it in either landscape or portrait orientations; the latter can be useful if you want to mirror your phone and scroll through your TikTok feed \u2014 or maybe give a presentation on the road. I rarely bothered with vertical mode, but the versatility is nice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-group-two-up my-40\">\n<div class=\"sm:flex sm:flex-row\">\n<div class=\"mb-20 w-full sm:mb-0 sm:mr-20 sm:w-1\/2\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>It can go basically wherever you want.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-20 w-full sm:mb-0 sm:w-1\/2\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The 27-inch screen is 1080p and lacks local dimming, but still looks nice enough when you&#8217;re watching something.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The StanbyME Go is smart enough to automatically turn off its display and power down whenever the briefcase is latched. The hard outer shell is plenty tough \u2014 LG claims it has passed 11 different durability tests \u2014 and while I never intentionally tried to put LG\u2019s review unit through my own torture test, it certainly took a few bumps during my weeks of testing and even had a minor fall while the case was open with the screen up. It survived all that with no issues. But the ruggedness only goes so far; the StanbyME Go doesn\u2019t offer any water resistance, so be careful if you\u2019ll be using it poolside or near a lake when camping. That\u2019s a big differentiator between this, a TV that can be used outdoors, and actual \u201coutdoor TVs\u201d that can withstand the elements and get bright enough to combat the sun \u2014 for much more money than the StanbyME Go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The StanbyME Go makes for a fun traveling game station \u2014 and you get LG\u2019s typical low input lag.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">There\u2019s a dedicated cradle for the remote inside the case, and if you pop that off, there\u2019s a section underneath for storing the power cable whenever you don\u2019t need it. The power input is covered by a protective flap, and there\u2019s another that guards the HDMI\/eARC port, USB-A port (for media on external drives) and a switch that can turn off the battery to preserve juice when you won\u2019t be using the TV for a while. LG says the StanbyME Go will average around three hours of battery life. In my experience, you can eke out an extra hour if you activate webOS\u2019s energy-saving features, but those usually come at the expense of brightness, which isn\u2019t impressive to begin with.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--image-group-two-up my-40\">\n<div class=\"sm:flex sm:flex-row\">\n<div class=\"mb-20 w-full sm:mb-0 sm:mr-20 sm:w-1\/2\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>There are some preloaded games that take advantage of the touchscreen.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-20 w-full sm:mb-0 sm:w-1\/2\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Can your OLED TV do bar games this well?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Actually <em>using<\/em> this briefcase TV feels similar to any of LG\u2019s other models.

Of course, this means you\u2019ll need to provide <em>power<\/em> for whatever HDMI devices you\u2019re using, which can get tricky on the go and especially outside.

Most big tech brands play their hands too safely and only release products with mainstream appeal. From that viewpoint, I commend LG for doing something not just a <em>little<\/em> different but so far off the beaten path. If the StanbyME Go cost a few hundred dollars less, I\u2019d be able to recommend it for reasons beyond the uniqueness factor. It\u2019s weighty but thoughtfully designed. It\u2019s one of those attention-grabbing devices that people will ask questions about whenever they see you using it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>More weird gadgets like this, please.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white after:absolute after:ml-8 after:mt-2 after:content-[url(\/icons\/endmark.svg)]\">But the TV that\u2019s packed into this briefcase is merely average \u2014 and less so when you consider the price.

But at $1,200, the simple reality is that most people are better off with a more traditional tablet or portable monitor until LG nails the right formula (and price).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--sidebar bg-gray-200 mb-20 w-full rounded-sm bg-[#F8F5FF] p-20 [&amp;&gt;*:last-child&gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\">\n<p><h4 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-heading my-20 font-polysans text-24 font-light leading-110 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple md:text-26 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-white\">Agree to Continue: LG StanbyME Go<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"[&amp;_p]:font-polysans [&amp;_p]:text-16 [&amp;_p]:font-light [&amp;_p]:leading-130\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><em>Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it \u2014 contracts that no one actually reads.
