The world of tech is almost impossibly huge, and that can mean two things – a lot of products that are fairly similar to each other, and the occasional product that stands out massively. The LG StandByMe 2 is one of the latter category, which makes it all the more surprising that it’s got a hefty discount as part of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
This portable 27-inch touch-screen monitor is sort of unlike anything else on the market, and it has a pretty huge price tag as a result. Right now, though, you can grab it at 31% off, which is the sort of deal that doesn’t come around very often at all.
The StandByMe 2 improves on older versions massively, not least in the form of a huge four-hour battery life to make it far more useful for watching movies or bingeing shows without running out of juice. It doesn’t take long to make you think of all the ways you could use a bright, sharp screen like this when you’re not tethered to any power source.
It has Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Filmmaker Mode to make sure that your content looks superb on its 1440p display, although a 60Hz limit means this might not be the choice for frame rate hawks and gamers.
Being fully touch-screen, though, means there are just countless ways to use the display, whether you basically just treat it like a big iPad or more like a portable TV. It’s such an interesting idea, and this deal makes it way more likely to attract people with slightly more reasonable budgets. If that’s you, grab it before the end of 8 October, when the deal will probably expire.
