LG has launched the StanbyME 2 in the UAE, the second generation of its portable lifestyle TV. The new model builds on the original with a detachable screen, enhanced display quality, improved sound, and additional features for use both indoors and outdoors.
Price and Availability in the UAE
LG confirmed the StanbyME 2 will be available in the Gulf region this summer, including the UAE. Local pricing has not yet been revealed, but the original StanbyME launched at around AED 4,000, so expect a similar price range.

A TV That Moves With You
The StanbyME 2 is designed to adapt to different spaces and needs. It’s portable, lightweight, and runs on a built-in battery.
- Detachable 27-inch QHD screen
- Four hours of battery life
- Works in landscape, portrait, or tabletop mode
- Easy to move from room to room or outdoors
The detachable design is its standout feature. You can snap the screen off the stand and use it on a table, wall mount, or even carry it outside. For UAE households that like flexible setups—whether it’s movie nights on the balcony or moving between living room and bedroom—this fits right in.
Display and Sound Upgrades
LG has doubled down on both visuals and audio.
- 27-inch QHD display with adaptive brightness
- 9.1.2-channel Virtual Surround Sound
- AI Clear Sound for clearer dialogue and effects
The higher resolution means sharper streaming and gaming, while adaptive brightness makes it easier to watch in daylight, which is helpful in bright Dubai apartments. The audio system adjusts automatically depending on the screen orientation, ensuring it works equally well in both vertical and horizontal setups.
More Than Just a TV
StanbyME 2 isn’t limited to Netflix and YouTube. LG has added features to make it useful beyond entertainment.
- Motion Art Screen turns it into an art or photo display
- Mood Maker mode adds clocks, posters, or relaxing visuals
- Optional Smart Cam for video calls and fitness apps
- Works as a second monitor for remote work
This makes it as much a lifestyle gadget as a TV. Families can use it for games and kids’ activities, while professionals can use it for home office setups.
Smart Features and Controls
Powered by LG’s webOS, the StanbyME 2 has access to apps and streaming platforms out of the box.
- webOS with Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and more
- AirPlay and Google Cast support
- Touch screen controls
- Far-field voice commands
- Magnetic remote included
It’s built to be intuitive, whether you want to tap directly on the screen or control it hands-free.
