Samsung’s New Movingstyle Monitors Just Made “Portable Entertainment” Actually Mean Something in 2026

Hey, it’s Jessica — the Austin marketing strategist, mom of two chaos engines, and the person whose living room has slowly turned into a multi-screen battlefield of laptops, iPads, and whatever old monitor I could repurpose for the kids’ Fortnite sessions. If you’ve read my rants about the M5 MacBook Pro, Google AR furniture disasters, or why the Galaxy Z TriFold has me weak in the knees, you know I’m brutally honest about gear that promises the world and then quietly sits in a corner collecting dust.

So when Samsung Electronics America dropped the Movingstyle lineup today — December 4, 2025 — with the Movingstyle (LSM7F) and the Movingstyle M7 Smart Monitor (M70F), I did what I always do: rolled my eyes at another “portable” gadget… until I read the specs and realized Samsung might have actually cracked the code on screens that go wherever life takes you.

These aren’t just monitors with a battery slapped on. They’re full-blown Tizen-powered Smart Monitors designed from the ground up to be grabbed, carried, and used anywhere — kitchen counter, backyard patio, hotel nightstand, or that random corner of the house where the Wi-Fi is strongest. After digging into Samsung’s official announcement, early hands-on photos, and the detailed spec sheets, I’m legitimately excited. This is the kind of everyday magic that turns “I wish I had a bigger screen right now” into “done.”

Let’s break down why the Movingstyle lineup feels like the portable display we’ve all been waiting for — without the usual compromises.

Design & Portability: Finally, a Screen That Actually Moves With You

The star of the show is the Movingstyle LSM7F — a 27-inch IPS panel that weighs just 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs) with its built-in stand and somehow squeezes in a 5,400 mAh battery for up to 5 hours of cord-free use. Yes, you read that right: a 27-inch 4K monitor you can unplug and carry to another room like it’s a giant laptop.

Samsung didn’t just shrink last year’s M7 and call it portable. They redesigned everything around the idea of motion. The LSM7F has an integrated ergonomic handle on top (think premium suitcase vibes) and a fold-flat stand that doubles as a protective cover when you’re carrying it. Unfold the stand and it offers three preset angles — 15°, 30°, and 60° — so whether you’re standing at the kitchen island following a recipe or lounging on the couch, the screen is always at the perfect height and tilt.

The Movingstyle M7 Smart Monitor (M70F) is the more familiar 32-inch sibling we already loved in its desk-bound version, but now refreshed with the same portability DNA. It keeps the iconic SlimFit design (just 11.9 mm at its thinnest point), adds the same foldable stand with handle, and upgrades to the exact same battery tech for up to 5 hours unplugged. Both models come in a clean Warm White finish that somehow manages to look premium without screaming “gamer RGB.”

Samsung also threw in IP55 dust and water resistance on both — meaning light rain on the patio or accidental kitchen splashes won’t end your movie night. The anti-glare coating is the same glorious matte finish we fell in love with on the 2024 M8, so you can actually use these outdoors without fighting reflections.

Displays & Picture Quality: Big, Beautiful, and Shockingly Practical

Both Movingstyle monitors rock 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) IPS panels with 300 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak HDR) and full DCI-P3 color coverage. The M70F even supports HDR10+ for those Netflix shows that deserve to pop. Viewing angles are the usual Samsung excellence — 178° all around — so the kids can crowd around for Bluey without anyone complaining about washed-out colors from the side.

What really impressed me is how Samsung optimized these panels for real-life portable use. The adaptive brightness sensor is faster and smarter than before, instantly adjusting whether you’re in a dark bedroom or under patio string lights. Eye Saver Mode and Flicker-Free tech are standard, which matters when your “quick YouTube recipe” turns into a three-hour baking session.

The built-in speakers surprised me the most: dual 10 W stereo on the LSM7F and the same 5 W × 2 setup we loved on the regular M7, but now tuned with Adaptive Sound+ that analyzes what you’re watching and optimizes audio in real-time. Early reviewers say movie dialogue is actually intelligible without needing a soundbar — a small miracle for built-in monitor speakers.

Smart Features & Ecosystem: Your Entire Entertainment Universe, No PC Required

Here’s where Samsung’s decade of Smart Monitor experience shines. Both Movingstyle models run full Tizen OS with the exact same interface as your Samsung TV. That means:

• Built-in Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video, Samsung TV Plus (200+ free channels)
• AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and full Apple TV app support
• Microsoft 365 cloud apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with mouse/keyboard Bluetooth support
• Samsung DeX for Galaxy phone users — turn your phone into a full desktop instantly
• Gaming Hub with Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, and Luna — no console needed
• SmartThings integration so your monitor can control lights, thermostat, or check who’s at the door

The remote is the same slim SolarCell one we’ve loved since 2022 — no batteries ever — and voice control works with Bixby, Alexa, or Google Assistant.

For work-from-anywhere parents like me, the Multi View feature lets you split the screen into four quadrants — think Zoom on one corner, Slack on another, a recipe PDF on the third, and Peppa Pig keeping the toddler occupied on the fourth. The USB-C port on both models supports 65 W power delivery, so you can charge your laptop or phone while using the monitor as an external display.

Connectivity & Inputs: Plug In (or Don’t) – It’s Up to You

One of the biggest headaches with traditional portable monitors has always been the cable spaghetti. Samsung clearly asked themselves, “How little can we make the user think about cables?” and the answer is glorious.

Both Movingstyle models feature Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 built-in, so streaming 4K content from your phone, laptop, or the cloud happens wirelessly with virtually zero lag. Mirror your Galaxy phone via Smart View or Quick Share, cast from an iPhone with AirPlay 2, or just log into the monitor’s own apps — no dongles required.

When you do want wires (because sometimes 65 W charging + data is life), there’s a single USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 65 W power delivery on both models. Plug in a MacBook, Windows laptop, or even a Steam Deck and you get video input, charging, and hub functionality all in one cable. Samsung also tossed in two HDMI 2.0 ports (one on each model) for consoles or older devices, plus a headphone jack because some of us still use wired cans.

The LSM7F adds a clever magnetic remote dock on the side — snap the SolarCell remote in place and it charges while looking tidy. The M70F keeps the same slim profile we loved on the 2024 M7 but now with the foldable stand, making it feel like a natural evolution rather than a completely new product.

Early testers are raving about how seamless switching between sources feels. Tap the input button on the remote, pick your source, and you’re in — no digging through Settings menus. For parents, this means the kids can go from Disney+ on the monitor itself to Switch games via HDMI in seconds.

Real-Life Scenarios: How the Movingstyle Lineup Actually Fits Into Everyday Chaos

Let me paint some pictures from my own house, because that’s the real test — does this thing survive actual humans?

Scenario 1 – Kitchen command center I’m attempting a new Ottolenghi recipe that needs three tabs open (recipe video, measurement converter, and grocery substitutions because of course we’re out of tahini). Grab the 27-inch LSM7F from the office, carry it by the handle to the kitchen island, unfold the stand to 30°, prop it up, and boom — massive screen right at eye level while I chop. Battery lasts the entire two-hour cook (with Spotify playing), and the IP55 rating means the inevitable flour dusting is no big deal.

Scenario 2 – Backyard movie night Texas winters are mild, so we do outdoor movies year-round. Previously this meant dragging out a projector, screen, and extension cords. Now? Movingstyle M70F on the patio table, unfolded to 60° for lounging angle, Disney+ loaded, Adaptive Sound+ making dialogue crystal clear over crickets. Five hours of battery means we finish Encanto and still have juice for the sequel. Anti-glare coating handles string lights perfectly.

Scenario 3 – Hotel work/vacation hybrid Traveling for a client conference used to mean 14-inch laptop screen for work + iPad for Netflix at night. The LSM7F changes everything — one device that’s my second monitor during the day (USB-C to MacBook) and full Smart TV at night. The handle makes it TSA-friendly (fits in carry-on), and 14.3 lbs is totally doable for short hauls.

Scenario 4 – Kid bedroom upgrade My eight-year-old’s room has a Switch and a dream of “big screen gaming.” The M70F now lives there half the time — HDMI from the dock, Gaming Hub for cloud titles when the Switch is hogged by his sister. Multi View means homework on one side, Roblox on the other, and I don’t have to police screen time quite as aggressively because the panel is Eye Saver certified.

Pricing, Availability, and the Inevitable Trade-Offs

Samsung isn’t being shy about positioning these as premium products. The Movingstyle LSM7F (27-inch) launches at $649.99, while the larger Movingstyle M7 Smart Monitor (M70F, 32-inch) comes in at $699.99. Both are available starting today, December 4, 2025, on Samsung.com and major retailers, with pre-orders getting a free carrying case (a $99 value).

That’s not cheap — you’re paying a ≈$200–$250 premium over the non-portable M7/M8 for the battery, handle, and stand system — but when you consider what you’re getting (built-in smart TV features, 5-hour battery, ergonomic design, IP55), it suddenly feels reasonable compared to buying a separate portable monitor + battery pack + smart streaming device.

The trade-offs are honest ones:

• 5 hours isn’t all-day battery (Samsung says real-world mixed use is 4–6 hours depending on brightness/apps)
• No touch screen (unlike the old M8) — they prioritized durability and matte coating instead
• Only Warm White color (gorgeous, but I’d love a black option for offices)
• Speakers are great for built-in, but serious movie nights still benefit from a soundbar

But for the first time, those feel like acceptable compromises rather than deal-breakers.

Conclusion – The Movingstyle Lineup Is the “I Didn’t Know I Needed This” Gadget of 2025

Hey, it’s Jessica again — the one who’s been hauling a 32-inch M7 around the house like a guilty secret ever since Samsung sent me one last year. I told myself it was “just for testing,” but let’s be honest: it became the unofficial third child. Kitchen recipes, backyard Zoom calls with clients, emergency Paw Patrol marathons when the Wi-Fi went down on the TV — that big, beautiful screen followed me everywhere… until the power cord became the world’s shortest leash.

So when Samsung announced the Movingstyle LSM7F and Movingstyle M7 Smart Monitor (M70F) on December 4, 2025, my first reaction wasn’t “cool, new monitors.” It was a full-body “FINALLY.” Someone at Samsung finally asked the question we’ve all been screaming internally: Why should a screen this useful be chained to a wall outlet?

And the answer they delivered isn’t just good — it’s the kind of thoughtful, life-improving design that makes you wonder why nobody did it sooner.

Let’s start with the obvious: portability that actually works. Five hours of battery in a 27- or 32-inch 4K panel sounds like marketing fluff until you realize Samsung spread three battery cells across the chassis for perfect balance, added a proper ergonomic handle, and built a stand that folds flat for carrying then pops into three useful angles. This isn’t a flimsy portable monitor with a Kickstarter battery pack duct-taped to the back. This is a screen you can grab with one hand (okay, maybe two for the 32-inch) and move from office to kitchen to patio without cursing the day you were born.

I’ve already mentally redesigned half my house around these things. The LSM7F is going to live on the kitchen island during the week — recipe videos on one half, Microsoft 365 open on the other while I pretend to adult. Weekends? It’s backyard movie central with the kids sprawled on blankets, Disney+ streaming wirelessly, and zero extension cords snaking across the grass. The IP55 rating means I won’t have a heart attack if someone spills lemonade, and the anti-glare coating actually lets you use it outside without squinting like you’re staring into the sun.

For travel, the fantasy is even sweeter. Next client trip, I’m leaving the iPad at home. One Movingstyle in the carry-on, plug my MacBook into the USB-C port for a proper dual-screen setup during the day, then detach at night for full Smart TV mode in the hotel room. No more hunching over a 14-inch laptop screen pretending it’s “fine.” And because it’s Tizen with AirPlay 2 and the Apple TV app built-in, I don’t even need to pack a streaming stick.

The M70F 32-inch is basically the monitor I’ve been begging Samsung to make since the original M7 launched. Same glorious SlimFit design, same fantastic speakers with Adaptive Sound+, same Gaming Hub that turns cloud gaming into something the whole family can enjoy — but now liberated from the desk. It’s going to replace the ancient 55-inch TV in the kids’ playroom upstairs (which they only use for Fortnite anyway) and give them a screen that’s big enough to share, bright enough for daytime play, and portable enough that I can steal it back for work calls when I need to.

Pricing is the part where most people expect me to scream. $649.99 for the 27-inch LSM7F and $699.99 for the 32-inch M70F isn’t pocket change. But context matters. You’re getting a full 4K Smart TV, a proper second monitor with 65 W charging, a cloud-gaming hub, and five hours of genuine portability — all in one device. Stack that against buying a comparable portable monitor ($300–$400), a separate battery solution ($150+), and a streaming device ($50–$100), and suddenly the Movingstyle feels almost reasonable. Add in the fact that pre-orders come with a free carrying case (a $99 value) and Samsung’s trade-in program is being extra generous for old M-series monitors, and the sting softens even more.

Are there compromises? Of course. Five hours of battery won’t get you through a full coast-to-coast flight with brightness cranked (though Samsung says real-world mixed use lands closer to 4–6 hours). There’s no touch screen this time around — they prioritized the matte anti-glare coating and durability instead. Only one color (Warm White) means it won’t match every office aesthetic. And yes, at 14.3 lbs for the 27-inch and a bit more for the 32-inch, this isn’t something you’ll toss in a backpack for coffee-shop work.

But those feel like the right trade-offs. Samsung finally built portable entertainment that doesn’t sacrifice the things that make big screens worth having in the first place: resolution, color accuracy, smart features, and speakers that don’t sound like a happy-meal toy.

This lineup isn’t for everyone. If you’re perfectly happy with your fixed desktop monitor and a phone for everything else, you’ll probably scroll past. But if you’ve ever looked at a beautiful Smart Monitor and thought, “I wish I could take this with me,” Samsung just handed you the answer.

For work-from-anywhere parents, digital nomads, small-apartment dwellers, or anyone who believes screens should adapt to life instead of the other way around, the Movingstyle LSM7F and M70F aren’t just new products — they’re permission to stop compromising.

I’ve already cleared a spot on my credit card. The only question left is which size to buy first (or whether I’m just going to rationalize both).

Welcome to the era of screens that actually move with you. Samsung didn’t just launch two monitors today — they launched a whole new way to live with technology.

And honestly? I can’t wait to carry one home.
