Samsung’s Moving Style Smart TV Offers Up to 3-Hours of Unplugged Use

Samsung’s Moving Style smart TV is a weird combination of portability and polish, with a 27-inch screen that doesn’t need a wall outlet and dares to go where most TVs can’t. This is a mobile TV, with a built-in battery, a kickstand that’s also a handle and a wheeled stand for easy rolling. But does it deliver enough to justify the almost $1,000 price tag in Korea?

Portability is the main attraction here, with the 69Wh battery giving you up to 3 hours of unplugged use, so you can watch a movie in the backyard, catch up on news in the kitchen or stream a fitness video in the garage. The adjustable and sturdy kickstand stands the TV on any flat surface, and the handle makes it easy to move. If you prefer to roll rather than carry, the integrated wheeled stand glides from room to room. Detaching the TV from the stand is easy, so you have more options on how and where you use it.

The 27-inch QHD screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution produces clear graphics whether you’re watching TV or browsing the internet. The 120Hz refresh rate is good for gamers who will connect a console via the single HDMI port. Samsung has some clever tech to improve the image, including AI-driven image optimization, color boosting and automatic HDR remastering which makes colors pop and details stand out. While the screen is probably an LCD rather than an OLED (Samsung’s silence on panel type confirms this), it supports HDR10+ for contrast. Touch functionality is another layer, so you can interact with the screen directly, but it only supports finger input – no stylus here.


The sound comes from a 10W 2-channel system with Dolby Atmos support, which is decent for a portable device but won’t compete with a dedicated soundbar. It’s enough to fill a small room with clear audio whether you’re watching a movie or working out with a fitness program. An optional 1080p webcam can be added to the TV to make it a communication hub for video calls. Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, 2 USB-C ports and a POGO connector for the webcam all provide solid connectivity. Google Cast and AirPlay support lets you mirror content from your phone and voice search via Bixby or Google Assistant makes navigation hands-free.


Tizen OS powers the experience, with a familiar smart TV interface and access to streaming services, live channels and Samsung TV Plus. A built-in web browser keeps you connected to online content and a daily info board can display apps or widgets when the TV isn’t in use. For creatives, a sketching app lets you draw directly on the screen, although the lack of stylus support feels like a missed opportunity. Art lovers can tap into Samsung’s Art Store which has over 3,500 digital artworks to display when the TV is idle or use AI to generate custom pieces from text prompts. It’s a nice touch for those who want their screen to double as decor.


Samsung’s offering is different from LG’s StanbyMe 2, a similar portable TV, in that it has a faster refresh rate and touch capabilities. The Moving Style feels like a direct response to LG’s concept but Samsung adds its own twist with the sketching app and AI art generation. However, the battery life and audio output is poor and the single HDMI port limits the number of devices you can connect. It’s an expensive purchase at KRW 1,440,000 to 1,490,000 (around $1,000 to $1,071) especially since it’s only available in South Korea right now with no word on global release.


So who is this TV for? It’s great for those who want a screen that can move with them, like in small flats, dorms or homes with limited space. The price is high, but the portability, smart features and the screen is a nice package for the right customer. If Samsung can improve the battery life and make it global, the Moving Style might find a place in the market for customers who want independence in their tech.
