SHUMIAO i0xws-1003460 32"

It's a giant, mobile Android tablet that fibs about being UHD and sounds terrible. Grab it only if you need a rolling touchscreen for a steal—otherwise, buy a real TV and a dolly.

We ran our full suite of tests and, honestly, the results didn't surprise us much—except for how heavy this thing is. At 46 pounds, it's not exactly easy to bump up stairs. The 32-inch 1080p panel lands right around average for brightness and viewing angles, so it's fine in a bright room, but colors look a bit washed out and HDR is a complete afterthought. The touchscreen works, but it's not silky smooth; Android 12 chugs visibly with just 6GB of RAM, making app launches feel like you're on a budget tablet from 2018. The built-in speakers are bottom-of-the-barrel—max volume is barely enough to fill a small room and bass is nonexistent.

Stacking the SHUMIAO against a Sony BRAVIA XR XR77A95L or LG C5 OLED55C5PUA is almost unfair - those are real televisions with stunning picture quality, while this is a mobile screen first and a TV second. The rolling stand is its only trump card; a Samsung The Freestyle or LG StanbyME would be closer in spirit, though neither offers this screen size with a built-in battery and touch. If your priority is image fidelity for movies or gaming, any of those competitors will blow the SHUMIAO out of the water. Even value picks like the Hisense U8 Series 100U8QG or TCL QM6K Series 55QM6K deliver a far better picture for the money. The SHUMIAO is for people who want a moving digital whiteboard or a secondary screen that follows them around the house, not a primary display.

Price tags bounce between $667 and a jaw-dropping $1,530 depending on the seller. At the low end, you're paying for a neat party trick—if you snag it for $667 on Amazon, that's almost acceptable for a portable touchscreen of this size. But north of $1,000? Forget it. For that money you could buy a superior 55-inch OLED from LG and have change left for a cheap tablet. This is a $500 concept being sold at midsize 4K TV prices.

SHUMIAO's rolling touchscreen TV is one of the strangest gadgets we've ever plugged in. It's essentially a giant Android tablet bolted to a wheeled stand, promising a go-anywhere cinematic experience. In practice, the mobility is genuinely cool—you can roll it from the kitchen to the patio effortlessly—but the trade-offs pile up fast. The screen is decidedly 1080p, not UHD as the marketing shouts, and the audio is so thin you'll instinctively reach for a Bluetooth speaker. If you absolutely need a movable big-screen canvas for doodling, Zoom calls, or impromptu backyard movie nights, and you're okay with middling picture quality, the SHUMIAO can be a conversation piece. Everyone else should stick to a proper TV.

If you're searching for an immersive home theater experience or a high-refresh gaming screen, this isn't your gadget. Go buy a TCL QM8K or a Sony BRAVIA 5 and enjoy vastly better picture quality for less cash. This portable TV is a niche novelty, not a main display.

The SHUMIAO rolling TV solves a problem few people have. Unless you're dead set on a battery-powered, touch-enabled display on wheels, you're better off with an iPad on a stand or a conventional TV paired with a streaming stick. The battery life and cart design are genuinely clever, but they can't make up for the subpar screen and sluggish smart interface. Only consider it if you find the $667 deal and have a very specific use case.
