GoKawiilI don't own a TV. I've had plenty of opportunities to buy one over the years, but we don't have a separate “theater room”—and as stereotypical millennials, we didn't want one in our main living room.
So, that's why my wife and I are often hunched over a laptop screen on a couch together to watch a movie like two college kids in a dorm room. It's not ideal.
When I saw the Samsung Movingstyle 32, though, I was intrigued. A screen on wheels. Something that could be wheeled into a room when needed, and stored away when not. All of a sudden, I was seeing a solution to our problem that didn't require reworking our entire living situation for a movie night. While it's not a perfect solution, the Samsung Movingstyle 32 is a clever way to get a large display into a room—but only for as long as you need it.
A Monitor on the Roll
The idea of a TV on wheels isn't new. Rolling out a portable TV on a cart or stand has always been a thing, and yet, there's something very novel about the way Samsung is approaching it with the Movingstyle monitor. First of all, it's actually a computer monitor, and not even one specifically made for this stand. It's a 4K display that actually already existed, and is now being packaged together with the adjustable stand and base. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it means that when you buy a Movingstyle monitor, it actually comes with the standard monitor stand and base as well. It's odd, as I can't imagine why you'd ever use that when buying the Movingstyle for its intended purpose.
Speaking of the package, this thing comes in an absolutely massive box. I was convinced that it must have been a mistake, because despite being only a 32-inch monitor, the box was big enough to be a TV. And heavy. The Samsung Movingstyle 32 comes with everything included: The 32-inch 4K monitor and its rollable stand. Most of that heft comes from the base, which is important, as it needs to balance against the entire weight of the monitor itself. The five caster wheels are hidden.
Want to position the screen in front of the couch? Or in front of the dining table? Or in the kitchen while you cook? Just wheel it over. I could also see this being extremely handy in an office, though that's not my context.
