Move over Maxwell Smart and James Bond, LG’s latest gadget looks like fiction made reality. With the appearance of a spy briefcase, the LG StanbyME Go display has launched in Australia.
First shown at IFA last year, the Go builds on LG’s upright-standing model with a more portable twist. Designed as a screen suited to outdoor use, the StanbyME Go houses a 27-inch 1080p touchscreen supported by a 20W four-channel speaker array.
Within its briefcase confines, the screen supports adjustable height and viewing angles, so you can set it up for comfortable viewing no matter where you are. LG rates its built-in battery as lasting up to three hours, so it might not last a full viewing of The Lord of the Rings extended versions, but most other movies will be fine.
Its touchscreen means you can control everything via taps and swipes, providing access to many of the popular streaming apps. Apple AirPlay also comes supported, letting you cast media directly from your phone to the display.
You can even lay the briefcase TV out flat in ‘Table Mode’ for an alternative experience. This mode gives way to digital games or a virtual record player for everyone to gather around and enjoy.
Poring over the spec sheet reveals that the LG StanbyME Go has a ‘Game’ picture mode, although the screen’s refresh rate caps out at 60Hz. Granted, the hassle of lugging around a PlayStation or Xbox for outdoor use would be reserved for the absolute diehards.
Out now in Australia, the LG StanbyME Go costs $1,999 from LG’s online store and Harvey Norman. It’s a luxury item, for sure, albeit packed with personality that’ll surely turn heads at the campsite or the beach.
