Samsung Movingstyle M7 Review: A Screen on Wheels
三星 Movingstyle M7 评测：带轮子的屏幕
The Good: The design of the rolling stand is smart. Highly adjustable. Excellent smart software, with tons of free content. Surprisingly strong speakers. Affordable. 优点： 移动支架设计巧妙，调节性强。智能软件表现出色，拥有海量免费内容。扬声器音质出人意料地强劲，且价格亲民。
The Bad: A touchscreen would be useful. The rolling stand is not sold separately. The 4K screen is only OK in quality. I wish the power cable was longer. 缺点： 若支持触控会更实用。移动支架不单独出售。4K 屏幕画质仅属一般。电源线如果能再长一点就好了。
I 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. 我家里没有电视。这些年来我有很多机会购买，但我们没有专门的“影音室”——作为典型的千禧一代，我们也不想在主客厅里放一台电视。
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. 因此，我和妻子经常像两个住在宿舍的大学生一样，蜷缩在沙发上盯着笔记本电脑屏幕看电影。这显然不是理想的观影方式。
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. 然而，当我看到三星 Movingstyle 32 时，我被吸引住了。这是一个带轮子的屏幕，可以在需要时推入房间，不用时收纳起来。突然间，我发现了一个无需为了看电影而彻底改变客厅布局的解决方案。虽然它并不完美，但三星 Movingstyle 32 提供了一种巧妙的方式，让你在需要时拥有一块大屏幕，用完即走。
A Monitor on the Roll
移动显示器
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. 带轮子的电视并不是什么新鲜概念。用推车或支架移动便携式电视一直都有，但三星通过 Movingstyle 显示器实现这一功能的方式却非常新颖。首先，它本质上是一台电脑显示器，甚至不是专门为这个支架设计的。它是一款现有的 4K 显示器，现在被打包与可调节支架和底座一起销售。这未必是坏事，但意味着当你购买 Movingstyle 显示器时，它实际上还附带了标准的显示器支架和底座。这很奇怪，因为我无法想象当你为了其核心用途购买 Movingstyle 时，为什么还会用到那个标准支架。
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. 说到包装，这东西装在一个巨大的盒子里。我一度以为发错货了，因为尽管它只是一台 32 英寸的显示器，但盒子大得像电视机，而且很重。三星 Movingstyle 32 包含了所有配件：32 英寸 4K 显示器及其可移动支架。大部分重量来自底座，这很重要，因为它需要平衡显示器本身的重量。底座下隐藏着五个脚轮。
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. 想把屏幕放在沙发前？还是餐桌前？或者做饭时放在厨房？推过去就行了。我觉得这在办公室里也会非常方便，尽管那不是我的使用场景。
With just a few screws and a power cable to snake through the stand, setup was a straightforward process. The adjustments to the monitor tilt, height, and rotation happen with one dubious handle, and it’s not nearly as intuitive as I’d have liked. For something that would need to be frequently adjusted, it should be a bit easier. 只需拧几颗螺丝，将电源线穿过支架，安装过程非常简单。显示器的倾斜、高度和旋转调节都通过一个不太可靠的把手来完成，操作并不像我预期的那样直观。对于一个需要频繁调节的设备来说，它应该做得更简单一些。
Height adjustment is more limited. The stand itself doesn’t move up or down, and the monitor can only be adjusted from the steel bar where the display clips onto the stand. Eight inches is plenty for height adjustment, though, which allowed me to find eye-level regardless of where I was sitting. 高度调节比较有限。支架本身不能升降，显示器只能通过连接支架的钢条进行调节。不过，8 英寸的调节范围已经足够，无论我坐在哪里，都能找到合适的视线高度。
My lack of a television makes me the perfect candidate for the Movingstyle stand. Moving the screen from the living room to the kitchen and into the closet is awesome. Because we live in a multi-story townhome, moving the Movestyle between floors was not feasible, limiting the device’s utility. Another factor limiting the monitor’s mobility is the shortness of the power cable, at 4 feet, 9 inches. While longer than a standard power cord on a desktop monitor, you’ll either want to connect the Movestyle to an extension cord or deal with moving between different outlets when wheeling this display through a large home. 家里没有电视，这让我成了 Movingstyle 支架的完美用户。把屏幕从客厅推到厨房再推回储藏室的感觉太棒了。由于我们住在多层联排别墅，在楼层间移动它并不现实，这限制了设备的实用性。另一个限制移动性的因素是电源线太短，只有 4 英尺 9 英寸（约 1.45 米）。虽然比普通桌面显示器的电源线长，但如果你想在宽敞的家里推着它走，要么得接个延长线，要么就得频繁更换插座。
Beyond stairs and the length of the cable, the other limitation you can run across is rugs or carpet. We don’t have thick carpet in our house, but we do have a rug in our living room. I found that the Movingstyle rolled around pretty smoothly on it, although it’s a fairly thin rug. The wheels roll best, of course, on a smooth, flat surface—namely, hardwood. All in all, though, I was impressed by how well this thing moved around. 除了楼梯和线缆长度，你可能还会遇到地毯的问题。我们家没有厚地毯，但客厅有一块地毯。我发现 Movingstyle 在上面移动得相当顺畅，尽管那是一块比较薄的地毯。当然，轮子在平滑的表面（如硬木地板）上滚动效果最好。总而言之，它移动的灵活性给我留下了深刻印象。
TV and More
电视及更多功能
Samsung’s smart TV services are second to none. Like Samsung’s other smart monitors, the Movingstyle runs on the Tizen operating system, allowing the monitor to function without being plugged into a laptop or PC. 三星的智能电视服务首屈一指。与其他三星智能显示器一样，Movingstyle 运行 Tizen 操作系统，无需连接笔记本电脑或 PC 即可独立工作。
If you’ve never navigated Samsung’s TV operating system, it’s just a simple way of surfacing all the content available to you in one seamless stream of channels and apps. Navigating the UI is pleasant and easy, and the OS also points you to some features you might not have known about, such as the free content you can watch as part of the Samsung TV Plus service, which includes live local television, sports, and on-demand shows. You have access to this compelling assortment of content in addition to the streaming services you may already be subscribed to. Switching over to your connected local laptop or console over HDMI is equally easy when you want. 如果你从未使用过三星的电视操作系统，它其实就是一种将所有可用内容整合在频道和应用流中的简单方式。UI 导航既舒适又简单，系统还会向你推荐一些你可能不知道的功能，例如三星 TV Plus 服务提供的免费内容，包括本地直播电视、体育节目和点播剧集。除了你已经订阅的流媒体服务外，你还可以访问这些丰富的内容。当你需要时，通过 HDMI 切换到连接的笔记本电脑或游戏主机也同样简单。
I’m torn on the price of the Movestyle, though. I love how affordable it is at $580, putting it within a more mainstream budget than I would have assumed. On the other hand, this is a very unique product, and I think higher-end specs might have been a better choice. This is a VA panel rather than IPS, and that means the color accuracy and saturation are OK, but not the best. Although it’s only rated for up to 250 nits of brightness, it topped out at 310 nits when measured against my colorimeter. But it’s not terribly bright, which could be a problem in a brightly-lit room. The display quality isn’t horrible, and this monitor isn’t made for professional video work. 不过，我对 Movestyle 的价格感到纠结。我喜欢它 580 美元的亲民价格，这比我预想的更符合主流预算。另一方面，这是一款非常独特的产品，我认为如果能配备更高端的规格会更好。它使用的是 VA 面板而非 IPS，这意味着色彩准确度和饱和度尚可，但并非顶级。虽然标称亮度最高为 250 尼特，但我的色度计实测最高可达 310 尼特。不过它依然不够亮，在光线充足的房间里可能会是个问题。显示质量并不差，毕竟这台显示器也不是为专业视频工作设计的。
