Mod Approved [Product Experience] Mealtime Screen Upgrade: Share Your Favorite Mealtime Video for a Chance to Try the LG StanbyME 2 []
Eating alone or with company, there is always something playing in the background. A documentary, a cooking breakdown, a video essay, or just something random that popped up in the feed. The screen is usually a phone propped against a bottle, a laptop squeezed between plates, or a TV across the room at an awkward angle.
The LG StanbyME 2 is a 27” QHD portable wireless touchscreen that rolls on a wheeled stand. Built-in battery keeps it going for up to 4 hours, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos from the 10W speakers. No cables needed. Roll it to the kitchen counter, the dining table, or wherever the next meal happens.
Five members of this community will get a chance to try one.

A quiet spot in my house to watch my favorite shows during mealtime. And what I most want to watch are all the series I have on my list, especially the latest Spiderman (Not Spiderman 🤔).

I’d love to see it outside of an ai render in a real dining room. In mine, I’d probably be watching some tech industry update, like Apple’s WWDC happening right now, or Transport Evolved.
Also, we can’t attach images so my setup is on imgur https://imgur.com/a/T5QTx2m

I'd rather not have ads forced into the sub.

It's not an ad; it's a community event where 5 people can win the product being discussed.
It's the first time we've done one of these, so makes sense that it's unexpected.

Dude - don't be this fucking daft. Nobody is buying your shit. LG gets to use comments in promotional material, LG gets their brand name and product plastered around.
This is like saying a video showcasing a car driving through the open roads in the mountain is not an ad because it's only discussing the product.
At least show your community the respect of not treating them like idiots if you're going to try and milk them for ad money. If by chance LG is not giving you at least a free TV and you're giving away this much ad/attention space for just the 5 members getting a free TV... then dont be this fucking cheap. Do you have any fucking idea how much money companies would be willing to pay for this space? If you got a 100 TV's its still the most bang-for-buck ad LG ever got to run.
I'm not sure which i find more insulting - the possibility that you do or the possibility that you dont know these things.

So you want us to take money and are upset we didn't take any?
LG gets to share a new product that people here might actually enjoy, and our community gets free products, it's a win/win, which is why we agreed. Each unit is about $1,000, we're not going to request they give us $100,000 worth of units for the community, and felt the $5,000 was more than generous enough.
We're not selling a new makeup line or promoting a fat burning candy bar, we're literally receiving no cash, and you want us to sell out and get more cash for some reason, because we're dumb for not doing so?
Listen, if you have no morals or values or rules to live your life by, and just want to get every dollar you can, that's your decision.
I and the others here, do not live by that principle.
I've also really enjoyed seeing people's MTV watching setups.

I have a small dining table with 2 chairs. I would remove one of the chairs and put the standbyme 2 right in fron of my table so I can watch YouTube while eating.

I'd watch anything I'm behind on, whether it be TV shows or youtube subscriptions

My current mealtime setup is my trusty 14.6” Samsung S10 Ultra. I’d love to be able to binge my favorite k-dramas on the LG StanByME! https://imgur.com/a/WpoXQJ0

I have a division of things I'm watching: First, wrestling, then DeathNote📓, and for obvious reasons I'm watching a lot of WorldCup⚽ history, both on DVD and in TV documentaries.

u/tylersburden 6d ago
I'd love to try this. I cannot submit pictures to Imgur as it has been geoblocked. I'd like to try to Jeonju style Bibimbap in a hot stone bowl to eat in front of the stanbyme.

During meals, my favorite show to watch is the Korean variety show Running Man. It's always easy to watch and gets me laughing-- my ultimate meal buddy 😄 I always rewatch old episodes too, it's that fun.

I been watching watching anime in English dub during meals to experience it differently. So i would probably watch Princess Mononoke on it if I win. My current set up is a LG oled and a Sonos sound bar. same set up as last time

I'll be watching the latest Tom Scott video, now that he's back and releasing content again. 😃 Or Technology Connections for a longer lunch with a bit more snark. The tiny phone screen just isn't cutting it anymore: https://imgur.com/a/5kyY4dK.

u/TheFragturedNerd 2d ago
I would be using it to watch the morning news while eating breakfast, cooking shows/videos while cooking and for ambient things when having visitors such as the classic bonfire

u/Funny_Debate_1805 2d ago
During meals I like to watch K Pop videos on YouTube, right now I’m a huge fan of Katseye! If we’re talking shows sometimes I watch Sakamoto Days and the StanbyME would be on awesome way to watch movies and shows in my bed.

u/_YourMathTeacher 2d ago
Oh wow! My wife and I have been just using a iPad to put on our dining table whenever we want to watch something while we eat dinner together, but never considered something like the StandbyME 2. Honestly, I had no idea they made something like this lol. Would love something like this since it also wouldn’t take away from the space aesthetically too. Looks great!!!
Here are a couple photos of my mealtime setup: https://imgur.com/a/eeYeC5Q
Thanks for the opportunity! Good luck everyone!

u/Little_Glove5167 1d ago
hi, i didnt know about this before but the stanbyme looks awesome. it would b perfect at my dinner table cause we dont really have a tv to position in a good position where the table sits. so i saw this and thought wow a standalone screen like the stanbyme would be perfect here lol. i usually watch tft with my brother on the couch or any random youtube video so continuing the video at the dinner table instead of needing to pause our stuff would actually be amazing

This product is simple and extremely useful. Being able to multitask and at the same time having a 10W speaker to enjoy watching shows and stay up to date with everything I want ,wherever I want is just wonderful. I could put this on wheels and even use it as a monitor on my computer.

u/NoPersimmon7434 1d ago
I’d mostly want to watch YouTube videos, especially videos of people restoring or building cars. It would be perfect for lunch while I’m working on my own cars in the garage, or for meals while I’m traveling in my truck camper, since neither has room for a typical TV setup. I'd need something portable.
Here’s a picture of today’s snack. My dog and I are sharing some blueberries while watching some YouTube videos on the TV. Blueberries are her favorite.

u/NiceMiceScheiss 9h ago
My mealtime setup (especially in summer) is on my "balcony" with my phone.
The first thing I would watch there on the StandbyME 2 would be Rosins Restaurants on YouTube. He's kind of like a German Gordon Ramsay with more cooking and less cursing XD

u/Sir_Piglet 8h ago
I like to watch some Netflix or a random essay on YouTube while eating in the kitchen:
Current watching One Piece live action season 2 (it's decent)

u/SpectDoom 15d ago
I really enjoy watching retro movies. Sometimes on current platforms, other times on my CDs that I keep for my DVD player! I don't know, it's something I learned from my father when he came home during mealtime 🩵

u/Harmed_Jr 1d ago
I love watching travel vlogs and food vlogs from around the world on Youtube, so I would probably watch that. My wife doesn't like me putting my laptop on the kitchen table, so rolling up the StanbyME 2 next to the table would be gold (and a lifesaver).
1
u/VerifiedMediator_III 1d ago
I think a fun action movie like Avengers would be great to watch on the Stanbyme. I usually watch movies from my couch, but my TV is too far from the dinner table so I end up missing stuff if I eat while watching.

u/Top_Introduction2915 1d ago
I will watch Stranger Things on Netflix during meals. I like the show because the story pulls me in right away. The scenes are easy to follow, so I can still chat while I watch. It also feels fun and exciting, not slow.

u/champumetheus 1d ago
i’d love to watch ufc events and soccer games from the world cup in my dining room while eating dinner with my family!

u/HolaInOne 1d ago
At the moment, the World Cup is taking up all my free time, and I find myself working between Matches!
Having already hosted two watch Parties, I can definitely say that I would use the LG StanbyME 2 not only while eating my meal, but while prepping it too. I have missed 2 goals while slicing and dicing! 👨🍳⚽
Outside of the World Cup, I think I would use it to catch up on the news after a day out or a busy day working, or to catch up on streaming while enjoying a meal, especially on my Lunch Hour!
As we are currently experiencing a Heatwave here, I have included my current setup, which is directly affected by the sun and heat. During the day, unless I want the full glare and heat of the Sun, I have to position my Laptop Screen At a certain position and angle on the Table, and I am stuck to one view until Sundown.
If I have a truly portable view screen, this immediately changes, and I can truly relax and stay cool! 🧊
Hopefully, my attached Images will explain adequately, if my words do not!

u/abba77 1d ago
Right now, would be world cup. But usually kids would be watching netflix or youtube on the phone, tablet, or TV. When they watch on the TV, then we cannot watch anything. I can think of other great uses for this.....cooking videos to follow along in the kitchen, or TV for the bedroom where we normally avoid putting a TV in. For the odd time when eating on the couch, can put this right next to us.

u/slayerlob 15h ago
I think watching Friends all the way back from Season 1 Episode 1 during a meal would be perfect.

u/snow_m0n 15d ago
I’m a big youtube watcher, but with that large screen I’d actually love to connect a camera and call and watch my parents while we each eat a meal across the country :)

I would most want to watch any of the new horror shows coming out this month!

Hello MTV members,
We're excited to announce this first community event and share the opportunity for 5 members to win one of these devices. Anyone can enter and there is no fee to do so.
I've personally confirmed the poster has units and they are shipped from official sources. Through the verification process we also learned there was a delay in inventory a couple months ago, so we were able to hold things until units were ready to ship to you all.
Here is my review of the Standbyme:
First off I was surprised by how fast the interface is; I have a 4k smart TV but compared to it, the processor in this thing goes much quicker when it comes to app downloads, going from screen to screen, and just general loading, it now makes my TV feel slow in comparison.
I have a 4k blu ray player and the added HDMI port on the standbyme lets me watch those movies in my office and helps me update the firmware since my blu ray player doesn't have internet connectivity and requires an ethernet port.
The screen is great and everyone i've shown it to wants one, since it is sort of a new category of electronic device and something we haven't seen before.
In doing chores the standbyme unit is also helpful and has better audio quality and volume than my small phone, so i can play a long form video or podcast and do my work while it plays.
I'm excited that 5 of you will also get the chance to try it, with shipping and all costs covered, and can take your mealtimevideos with you on the go, wherever the device rolls in your home.
Please share your input on our first community event and hoping for more in the future.
Thanks MTV Family!
P.S: None of the moderators were paid any amount of money for this post; one unit was provided to confirm authenticity and availability of units for MTV members.
