LG Electronics announced on the 14th that it will launch the portable screen device 'LG Standby Me 2' in the global market.
On the same day, LG Electronics explained that this week it plans to release the LG Standby Me 2 sequentially, starting with Hong Kong and Turkey, followed by the United States, Canada, Vietnam, and Singapore in July, and the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain in August.
The LG Standby Me 2 was first launched in the Korean market in February. Immediately after its launch, the initial stock of more than 1,000 units sold out in just 38 minutes during the first live broadcast. LG Electronics noted that the sales of the Standby Me 2 over the past five months were about four times higher than its predecessor.
The Standby Me 2 can be used in various ways, such as placing it on the table or hanging it like a picture frame, without complex processes like loosening screws, simply by pressing a button to detach the screen from the stand, enhancing the mobility and usability compared to its predecessor. It features a 27-inch QHD (2,560x1,440) high-resolution touch display and can be used without power for up to 4 hours with a high-capacity battery.
It also includes LG Electronics' smart TV platform, webOS. Users can enjoy OTT and cloud gaming, and rotate the screen vertically to view webtoons and short-form content.
Lee Chung-hwan, head of LG Electronics' TV business division (vice president), said, "We will strengthen our leadership in the global portable screen market with the newly transformed portable lifestyle screen LG Standby Me 2, reflecting the customers' voices."
