I am moving and have a plasma and an LCD to move. What's the best way to transport these without messing them up?

I believe it's a plasma that you're supposed to never lay down.

Wrap with plastic wrap, tape blankets and bubble wrap on it. Try and keep them standing up.

Use all of your back, none of your legs.

This. If you're using a moving truck, wrap it up in a couple moving blankets and lean it up in between some furniture so it will stay upright.

Moving places sell boxes for that if you didn't keep the original.

After you break in, grab the TV and try to run with the TV under your arm upright. If you have to stash it in the bushes til later, keep it upright by leaning it against a tree or something.

My 60" fits in the back seat of my truck, just have to fold the seat up. Throw a moving blanket over it and stuff around it with pillows for stability.

Bubble wrap and moving blanket if going in a uhaul.

If you have an SUV, put some old bed sheets or comforters in the way back, then lay them face down and don't drive like a maniac.

If you have a car or a truck, wrap them in the old bed sheets or comforters and don't drive like a maniac.

Is this a real question?

Move them in a regular car or SUV, not the movine truck. Wrap them in blankets/towels and remove the base or stand they have with a few screws. Then put the tv behind the front seats.

Only because the front is actual glass. Wrap the glass correctly and you can put it how ever you want. I would stand up if possible though.

Also find a large piece of cardboard or flatten a decently sized box to put in front of them to further protect the screens, and keep them standing up.

This is why you should keep the box.
