Moving a flat screen TV can be a difficult task for self-movers and the complications can grow depending on the size, age, and model of the television. Due to the struggles that come with moving a flat screen TV, it is best to leave it to the professionals. All My Sons’ offers professional packing services in Knoxville to help you move even the most fragile or trickiest items to move or pack, including your flat screen TV. Our movers will pack your LCD TV and get it safely transported to your new home.

LCD TV’s can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so damages to your TV during the moving process can be a major setback. If you will be self-moving rather than using packing services in Knoxville, follow these guidelines to safely pack your LCD TV:

Pack your LCD TV in the original box

If you still possess the original manufacturer’s box that your television came in, use it to pack your LCD TV when you move to your new home. The Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) boxes are made of double thick corrugated cardboard stock to absorb bumps and shocks. Purchasing specialty shipping boxes from a Knoxville packing service is also acceptable and sometimes works better.

Reinforce your LCD TV when it’s placed in the box

Use packing tape to reinforce the box seams and wrap the screen with rolls of medium or large bubble wrap. Fill all remaining space between the box and the screen with sheets of packing paper. This will protect your TV from being damaged in the back of the moving van.

Loading it onto the truck

Newer models of big screen TV’s are much lighter than the flat screens of 20 years ago. Still, they are heavy, weighing up to 60 pounds, and will require assistance when moving. Additionally, flat screen LCD TV’s must be moved standing up. When the flat screen is laid on its side, inner hardware and electronics can shift. This can damage the screen and ruin the television permanently.
