Be careful when moving or
transporting your TV! It has a special thin glass screen (between 1 to 3 mm
thickness) on the front!
LCD, LED, or Plasma TV screens are made of special thin glass with millions
of tiny electronic components (pixels) built-in! It is very hard to make,
costly, and easy to crack during transportation! Please use these guidelines
at your own risk. (We do not take any responsibility for the TV screen being
damaged during customer transportation or by our staff helping customers
move their TV as requested).
As the manufacturer recommends, you should move a TV in its original box
(you should NOT use another TV box). If you don't have it, the best position
for TV transportation is a standing position with someone or something
holding the TV. Never grab, touch or hit your TV's screen at any time (even
with a small force, it may damage! We have seen many TVs with damaged
screens due to hitting the car's seat when moving or when drivers apply a
brake at stop signs or road bumpers).
If you have to lay the TV down, the screen must be face up, and you must put
some cushions underneath the back of the TV to make it "float" (blankets,
pillows, paper towel rolls, bathroom tissue packages...) and make sure that
the TV will not move during transportation

- For safety, it is recommended to have at least two
people to move a TV.
- Never leave a TV in your car at freezing temperatures; this can damage
your TV screen.
- Never grab, apply uneven pressure, use too much force, or bend your TV
when carrying, transporting, or holding it. Rubber gloves should be used for
better grip and less force.
- Drive slowly and smoothly, avoid rough roads, bumps, and potholes. It is
better to have someone hold the TV during car transportation.
