Once the TV is wrapped, slide it into the box vertically. If you have a large-screen TV, have someone help you.
Always keep a flat-panel TV in the upright position during moving or storage to avoid pressure on the lightweight glass that could cause permanent damage. Wrap the TV with a moving blanket — you might need two blankets depending on how large your TV is. Wrap the TV with the blanket and secure the blanket with tape…. After you open it, make sure you take it upright from the box.
OLED panels are generally fragile, and production methods are far from perfect. OLED screens are very thin and that plays a large part in there rigidity. If your phone flexes or gets smashed hard enough, you are likely to be left with a blank screen.
Fix Burn-In on Android or iOS Device Image retention on a smartphone or tablet can sometimes be cured just by turning the device off for an hour or so. Some, like OLED tools, will try to fix image retention and check for more permanent burn-in. Try a colorful video. I did not know if this was a valid point or not and they both made a point specifying "plasma" TV's. Maybe they failed to tell me that they were talking about the glass. I did not know if it had something to do with the substance within the TV that actually gets misplaced when it is out of position or something peculiar like that.
Phil Taylor Senior Audioholic. Don't lay them flat because the refrigerant oil will run out of the compressor Oh wait -- nevermind that's for refrigerators I worked at an electronics and appliance store for a summer and was told by my superiors that TVs laid flat should stand upright for twice the amount of time they were horizontal before they are plugged in.
No idea if there is any truth to that or not. To clear up the shipping question, my job was in a warehouse, and all the TVs with the exception of 22", the smallest we sold shipped in their natural, vertical position.
We carried them off the truck that way and stored them that way. Again no mention of why. Hi Ho said:. That is total BS, entertaining, but still BS. Setting a TV upright after being on it's side doesn't change anything. If the glass broke while being transported on it's side then it would still be broken after being upright for twice as long. I can't speak about Plasma's but LCDs must remain upright and should never be layed down flat..
I lay both plasmas and LCDs face-down all the time to place the mounting brackets prior to hanging them on a wall. No ill effects. Transporting they are best left vertical in order to alleviate stress on the panel. Ya ever see a window glass truck going down the road with the panes in a vertical position in those racks?
Glass is stronger on edge when bumps are involved Apparently the image creating particles are sandwiched between to large sheets of heavy glass. I would assume that a larger Plasma display would be more fragile because of the weight of the glass. If you opened your box and the plasma screen is uncracked there is no problem and you should be able to turn it on right away. Many big box stores will tell you not to lay it on it's back because the "gas" settles in the wrong part of the display and that you should wait hours to power the TV on once it's been in the upright position.
Why they tell you this I have no damn clue because the most real concern is the screen cracking from hitting a pothole on the road during transportation.
