When I go to pick up my Plasma TV here in New York, is it okay to lay the
plasm flat in the hatch for the ride home at least? I am worried that I will
have no room in the back seat to stand it upright. The car ride itself will
be about 30-45 minutes. i have a Lexus RX300 so the ride isnt really bumpy.

I have read all of these things saying "dont put it on its side" and I'm not
sure if thats more rumpur than fact.

It is a Panasonic 42"

Thanks
Rob

If I were in your shoes, I would make the extra effort to hook it up and
have it running during the drive home. Get you wife to drive while you
lounge around the back seat watching DVDs. It's important to drive other
people crazy as you go about your business...

How often do they bounce them with a 2' amplitude at highway speeds?
