Moving a 65" TV

Damn straight

 

Don't move a TV by laying it flat. This is a sure way to damage pixels. It should be vertical.

 

Well shit, I guess I am toast too. See you in 30 days fellas!

 

You can't damage pixels in an lcd tv by laying it flat, but you can crack the screen....then its junk.

 

Hey it’s a been a while, but sounds like a great use for pool noodles!!

 

It better be a moving blanket thats well padded. Make sure the base has been removed first.

 

No way in hell my Samsung 65" would fit inside my truck. It was transported in the box and was laid flat in the bed. No damage at all, but I did drive like an elderly person.

 

As others have mentioned, I would not transport it laying down. I'd do whatever I could to keep it upright.

 

Former moving professional here (and, no, I don't want to help!), DO NOT lay it flat!
Pad it, blanket it, and tie it upright in the bed, if it just won't fit in the cab (which I doubt that it will)
Glass panels of any description as FAR more vulnerable to cracking when in the flat position, especially when being jostled by driving over God knows what kind of roads.

 

Think it depends on if your TV is in Box and should be kept upright?

mine said to keep upright but I laid out a 4-2x4s out (ontop of my Diamondback cover for a flat/level) and was careful putting down on that. Did fine.

 

Yep, there's a reason the big box stores don't keep boxed televisions stored flat and stacked.

 

Strap it down in an upright position on the hood, screen facing the driver. MAY impede your field of vision...but depending on the channel entertaining?
