Moving a plasma screen
 

Hi there

I have had a plasma screen delivered to my house as the friend who it
belongs to is not in during the week. Is it OK to lie it flat in a car
when moving it to his? Or are there any other issues I should be aware
of?

Cheers
Ed

Is it still in the box? If so what does the box say?

There was a nice thread a while ago about someone moving a plasma slat -
result was one cracked screen.

Not unless you want a expensive paperweight!! (read the thread with broken
plasma laying flat in a car boot)

I have been advised to keep it upright, so I will if possible. Just
wanted to know what might happen to it if it wasnt upright - i mean a
lot of them are on tilting wall mounts and seem fine

Please note I did read this thread, but there seemed to be no real
resolution apart from the danger of cracking it

Keep it standing up. If it's not in proper packaging, even _hold_ it in
place standing up in the back of a van. You'd be damn-lucky to get it from A
to B without doing this.

And he was transporting it in the approved vertical manner although without any
packing.

The first rule is let him move it, not you....

That way he will still be your friend if it breaks.

Two of you hold it upright and walk. If it's more than a couple of
miles, rent a van, get as many people as possible in the back to hold it
very, very steady and upright. There's a reason companies charge a
fortune for delivery of these things - they're very easy to damage.

you risk it breaking - note the word 'risk' - as opposed to 'it's definitely
going to'

so that the stupid bitch would leave him alone, and we had a right
good laugh ahout it too.
