In 2022 , LG launched the StanbyME, a $ 1,000 27-inch tablet running LG 's smart TV operating system, webOS, but lacking a tuner.

The Stanbyme competes against a slew of similar devices, including some from Samsung , but mostly from smaller brands and running Android .

I've had one of these devices, the KTC MegPad 32-inch Android Tablet , rolling around my home for a few weeks .
