   Best purchase
   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.

   Excellent quality and picture !
   Everyone who has experienced this TV in our home has nothing but great things to say about the clarity and quality of the TV. I love that you can stream cast anything from your phone as well as control the screen from your phone. The battery life is a little rough but the cord is extra long for charging capabilities.

   Wow!
   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.

   Watching K-Dramas while taking a bath.
   I received this LG StanbyMe as a gift for my birthday and I have been enjoying the heck out of it. It’s been so awesome being able to roll this little TV around while I’m watching my shows. It’s so funny but this mobile TV is so fun to use. I want to share it with the world how awesome it is. Here’s a pic of watching a Kdrama from my bathtub haha. (SO extra, but idc)Few things to note:- It holds a charge for 2-3 hours so you do not need to keep it plugged in. You can take it outside and hangout on your backyard, patio etc.- It’s touchscreen which is awesome! (some apps don’t function well with it though so I sometimes prefer to still use a remote)- There are a few ways to control the TV. Touchscreen, Physical Remote Controller, Phone Remote Controller. (I like using my phone because there are different ways to control the screen)- Apps: There is a really cool gaming app where you can play games through Luna App which is Amazon’s Cloud gaming service. I was able to play assassins creed directly on the TV which was pretty interesting!- It turns vertically which is cool if you want to mirror your phone. You can mirror your phone to watch IG Reels/TikTok Videos, make a FaceTime call– etc. Maybe even would help to read books or recipes.- It’s weighted at the bottom so the StanbyMe does not feel flimsy or like it’s going to tip over at all.- The TV itself feels pretty fast/responsive. I have another LG TV in our living room but I feel like my StanbyMe feels like it loads everything faster and almost looks better? Maybe it just feels that way but my BF was also saying the same thing.- You can easily mirror your laptop so if you would like a second monitor to work off that you can roll around your house, this works pretty nicely for that.- I also like to hook up my Nintendo Switch up to the monitor and play games in the living room with this!Such a fun and useful TV. I really love this gift and use it as much as possible.

   Beautiful clear picture, sound is amazing and can get very loud. I love the hardshell suitcase design offering protection for the screen and built in speakers. Comes preloaded with several movie and game apps. The 1 and only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is very heavy. I bought it for our family camping trips, so no big deal, but it could be an issue if you are shopping for a regular use, portable multimedia device for travel/work. The price point could be an issue as well, but if you are ok with the other payment options, it really helps paying overtime. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and look forward to movie nights with the family under the stars!UPDATE! I reduced the star rating because I just got back from a camping trip and could not use the stand by me. Turns out, no matter what you try to do (tethering, hdmi hardwired, thinq connection) if you don’t have a signal you don’t have a TRULY PORTABLE entertainment system! And with a wifi connection, I couldn’t watch anything through thinq because of “copyright rules” even though I’m trying to play downloaded movies from Netflix and prime that I DO INDEED PAY FOR! everything i said about the sound/picture quality is still true, but whats the use if I can’t “take it with me”?
