LG’s Award-Winning New Portable Screen Offers a Versatile, Movable Display for Everyday Use, Effortlessly Adapting to Various Environments and Lifestyles
News Summary
SYDNEY, August 27, 2026 — LG Electronics Australia (LG) is expanding its lifestyle screen lineup with its new StanbyME 2 Max, delivering a more flexible and enjoyable entertainment experience on a larger portable 32-inch screen with 4K resolution.2
First introduced in 2023, LG StanbyME takes viewing experiences beyond the capabilities of stationary displays. This lineup continues its evolution with the StanbyME 2 Max, which features its largest screen yet and upgraded picture quality for more engaging and convenient user experiences.
A larger portable screen with 4K resolution
The new 32-inch StanbyME 2 Max features a 4K UHD (3840x2160) display, a significant upgrade from the current 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) screen. This larger, high-resolution screen delivers rich, high-quality visuals that enhance the portable viewing experience.
The LG StanbyME 2 Max creates a more immersive experience by supporting Dolby Vision for enhanced picture quality and depth and Dolby Atmos for clearer, multi-dimensional sound. Dolby Vision brings greater brightness, sharper contrast and more diverse colours, while Dolby Atmos delivers an enveloping soundscape with richer detail.3
In addition, it offers a wide range of entertainment options, including popular streaming apps,4 LG Channels, LG’s free ad-supported streaming TV service,5 and LG Gallery+, an art content platform available on the LG StanbyME lineup for the first time. These enhanced experiences contributed to its recognition at CES® 2026, where it earned a CES 2026 Innovation Award in the “Content & Entertainment” category.
The device’s new α8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 uses AI to optimise both picture and sound.6 Key features include:
A personal screen for everyday spaces
The LG StanbyME 2 Max is designed as a movable screen for use across different everyday spaces. Its screen can be attached to or detached from the wheeled docking stand, allowing users to move it from room to room and place it where needed. This supports a range of daily uses, such as following recipes in the kitchen, exercising, or viewing content outdoors.
The combination of a larger display and enhanced portability enables a more immersive viewing experience across a wider range of everyday settings. Users can enjoy content on a bigger screen while retaining the flexibility of a portable display that adapts to different environments.
The display can also rotate between landscape and portrait modes to suit different types of content. In portrait mode, StanbyME 2 Max serves as a larger screen for vertical content, browsing, and mobile-style app use. The model also supports screen mirroring with Apple AirPlay and Google Cast™ compatibility.7
Through LG Gallery+ and other supported apps, the screen can also be used to complement a room’s interior. LG Gallery+ provides access to over 5,000 artworks,8 enabling users to display art content to decorate their space.
The device also functions as a large touchscreen display, with intuitive controls for apps such as Let’s Draw, as well as browsing and streaming.9 When the screen is out of reach, a handy remote lets you stay in control from the comfort of your seat. Its magnet snaps to the side of your screen, making it easy to store.
In Australia, the StanbyME 2 Max also comes with additional accessories included in the purchase. The One Click Stand, a secondary prop that holds the screen upright when detached from the base, and a hanging strap and wall mount holder that can be used to carry or display the StanbyME 2 Max on a wall.10
Flexible power options for on-the-go users
A built-in battery that provides over 4 hours1 of continuous video playback for use anywhere without a power connection. The battery can be recharged via the docking stand or its USB-C port on the detachable screen, offering reliable and flexible power options.
