What do I do now?

Slight problem. New widescreen TV turns up yesterday. Deliverymen depart sniggering "You're never gonna get that up the stairs".

So is it true that you cannot move a plasma screen around except in the upright position that the screen is viewed in i.e. I can't lay it flat, or move it an angle as it is carried upstairs? If so, I'll have to get a mate to help me shift it....

I don't know for certain but my neighbour has fairly steep steps to his front door and when his was delivered it was definately taken up at an angle.

(don't know if it works tho')

We had some running for years at 45deg on the trading floor...

Should be fine. Plenty of screens run at funny angles and are none the worse for it.

The only reason you can't lay plasma flat is in case the glass cracks under it's own weight. You'll be fine carrying it at an angle, but i would recommend getting a friend over to make sure you spread the weight evenly.

At the end of the day, you've got house insurance, so just get a new one if you drop it

Our plasma screen came in a ruddy great flight case and it did many, many miles in the back of a Scenic lying on its back. Didn't seem to do it any harm...

Shouldn't cause any problems.

Some one must of spun him a jarn about all its little pixel falling to one end
