Remember the days of old when people will lug massive portable hifi sets to the beach BBQ? LG Electronics is rolling back those times with the unveiling of the LG StanbyME Go (model 27LX5). Of course, this iteration plays more than just loud music — it boasts a 27-inch touch display and a 20W four-channel speaker system integrated into a stylish and sturdy carrying case.
Created for mobility with its carrying case and built-in battery, it can be used indoor or outdoor for watching movies, playing games and more. The case includes safe storage for the product’s streamlined remote control and power cable, just in case more juice is required beyond the three-hour battery life.
The screen can be rotated 90 degrees from landscape to portrait mode and adjusted upwards by up to 18 centimetres. When set to Table mode, it lies flat in the lower part of the case, allowing users to play digital board games or switch on the virtual record player for a fun, nostalgic listening experience.
The StanbyME Go has been tested to handle a wide variety of environmental factors, including low pressure, high temperature, low temperature, dust and salt spray, and provides protection against accidental drops, vibration and shock.
For maximum viewing immersion, the built-in speakers of the StanbyME Go automatically optimises audio output to the front of the screen. Viewing experiences are further enhanced through support for Dolby’s advanced video and sound technologies, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Equipped with LG’s proprietary webOS smart TV platform, the mobile entertainment solution also lets users easily connect to iOS or Android devices. Voice recognition makes it possible to do app launching, adjust sound and search for contents completely hands-free – an especially helpful feature for those who are busy with other tasks while watching.
LG StanbyME Go will launch in this month in the US, followed by key markets in Europe including Italy, France, the UK, Spain, and Germany from next month.
