LG has revealed more concrete detail on its bizarre novel TV suitcase .
The LG StanbyMe Go ( no , there is no ‘ calciferol ’ ) telecasting was announce in South Korea back in June as a new portable tv set concept . It essentially take a 27 - inch 1080p LCD telly set and grind away it into a chunky carrying example .
Now , however , the society has confirmed that it ’s coming to the US market later in August for the not - inconsiderable price of $ 999.99 . You canplace a pre - orderright now , if you ’re in the market for a truly unique compact TV .
The whole conception seems to be to provide a voluptuary , full - fat TV set ( though not quite theLG C3 ) in a ‘ portable ’ human body factor . We had to couch that term ‘ portable ’ , because the LG StanbyMe Go consider 12.7 kg . Whipping out your laptop to watch out a quick flick this is not .
There are three configurations for the LG StanbyMe Go ’s screen . you’re able to prop it up so that it serves as a traditional ( ish ) boob tube , lay it completely flat so that it serve as a music player ( everlasting with kitsch vinyl vitality ) using its built - in 20W speakers and Dolby Atmos support , or riffle it up vertically for portraiture - opinion social medium stuff using the touchscreen input .
LG has give away that the StanbyMe Go supports Dolby Vision and HDR 10 , so it ’s a proper television set we ’re talking here . However , with only three hours of run time on its barrage fire , you wo n’t be binge watching any box set .
It ’s powered along by LG ’s webOS , as you might expect , so it has full access to all the common cyclosis service . There ’s a full suite of connectivity options too , including Airplay 2 , Wi - Fi , and Bluetooth .
We ’ll be very concerned to see if this experimental product gets any further .
