Ok boys and girls, an LCD, LED can be laid down on back or front if supported and on a soft surface. A plasma tv should NEVER BE TRANSPORTED IN ANY POSTION BUT UP RIGHT!. Now I am sure you want to know why. First it has nothing to do with gas. It is because the glass panel is not supported like in the LCD or LED and will often crack. Warranty will not cover this. If you get one that is broken I hope the store you got it from loaded it. We have taken some back in but with the box and had to claim as a shipping damage. The LCD's are composed of several panels that reach from top to bottom and LED are similar. That said my company has transported some laying down in a box we maid with foam rubber lining it and never damaged one doing it this way. The screen is fully supported by the rubber. We do this as a last resort!None or them should ever be stacked on while laying down for transport. When we get them in the small ones can come stacked on each other but other than that they all come upright!Plasma will show motion the best and have the greatest field of view. LCD and LED are best for rooms with a lot of sunlight as they are brighter. Go to www.schaeferstv.com we have some FAQ's on the site.
DLPs take a lot longer to burn in but any projection will burn in I have seen in trades and units in for service. For that matter I believe any tv will burn in given time. With the DLP the bulb ballast thing I would rank them on the lower life span be cause of the consumables (light bulb) people just don't want to put the money back in them. I see more LCDs coming back as haul outs than plasmas. LEDs are to new for me to have a real opinion but if LED lights are any indication could be a long lasting set. I can say that tvs that are in smokey places live a shorter life. Smoking is not just bad for people.
So that's why my TV's are always dying!
