We are moving from WA to AZ. We have a 50" LCD screen TV. Quite heavy. If we keep it, we'd have to package it carefully and move it huh?

This TV is pretty new. We bought it last year.

IF you had the old box, that would be nice....but since you don't, USE thick quilts to cover it. You want to protect the FRONT of the TV mostly...
When I tranport 50" LCDs in a van, I put the Front side towards any outside wall of the van, with a couple Blankets/Pads covering the entire TV, then I either strap it to the wall or I place various equipment around it that is boxed to minimize it's movement....A refrigerator is not a good choice because it's heavy, but boxes of clothes or bedding are a great choice....just imagine a giant pillow around it and think pillow boxes when you're loading the truck.....
I would suggest you pull out the LAMP and place it in a smaller box that rides with you up front.....
Obviously, it's worth taking it with you.

If you're getting a truck to move stuff anyway - go for it. But if your TV won't fit or you're not getting a truck or is old, why not sell your TV and buy a new one that will work great with your new house?
Hope that helps,

considering it is an LCD, i would take it along. they are pricey and sound like it isn't that old. if it was a regular big screen, then i would sell that a get a new one, not the LCD though.

You probably don't want to if you don't have to. I'd get a professional mover to do it. Someone who's going to be responsible. Of course, if money is an issue, then you don't really have a choice. Just be very very careful.

Why, do you have enough money lying around to buy a new one? Surely moving it would be cheaper than buying a new one.

yes-they're great! Get a wide screen and pop in your Billy Jack DVD and sit back with a cherry coke, slice of pizza, and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
