So How do you move Plasma and LCD TVs?


Several people have asked how to best move plasma and LCD TVs. For us, the process is a bit simpler. We have a customized crate with closed cell foam inserts. These crates provide complete protection to the TV. We use these crates on local moves.
When we move TVs farther, we rely upon custom cartons designed specifically for transporting the flat tvs. These have foam inserts for the corners that can be cut to conform to the TV's dimension's. They run approximately $200.
Should you decide to move a TV yourself, it is best to keep the TV upright and either boxed or fully padded. The surface of a LCD TV can be damaged if touched with sharp or hard items.
I have not heard of cartons available for purchase for self moves, so if you have a place to keep your original packing materials, it is a good idea to do so.
As with all electronics moved during the winter, it is a good idea to allow the units to come to room temperature before plugging them in.
