LG Briefcase TV
Having a TV at the tailgate is next level, but they can be a pain to haul and setup at the tailgate. Not anymore thanks to the LG briefcase TV (LG StanbyMe Go). The TV has an internal battery, can stream off your phone and has an adjustable screen. When you’re done it folds up neatly into the protective briefcase.
