If you are looking for an easy article about “how to transport an OLED TV”, then you have come to the right place.
When you do have the original box
As a general rule you should use the original box to transport your OLED TV.
Pay attention to the following rules:
- Transport the TV in the upright position and NOT on its end. The box will usually tell which is the up position.
- Packaging is not generally designed to hold weight in a 'laying down' or 'laying flat' on the floor. The panel may crack.
- When handling the TV itself, do NOT use your fingers. Your hand in contact to the screen should be as flat as possible (See demonstration in the video below).
- Make sure your TV is secure to prevent it from tipping. You can use the seat belt of your car to secure it. Alternatively you can use cords or a passenger seat to hold the TV box together.
- If you are driving it, avoid broken pavement and bumpy roads.
- 2 people are needed to carry it. To lift your TV, use the boxes' handles, if available.
- Be careful with stairs and uneven terrains. Do NOT the let the TV fall.
You don't have the original box
Transporting an OLED TV without the original box and the foam is not ideal.
I understand that few people will actually have the packing materials to use it, so let's be practical. It is possible to take steps to minimize risk while moving it.
If you don't have the original box, it is recommended that you use one hand in the bottom and the other one in the lower half, closer to where your TV is heavier. Your hand in contact to the screen should be as flat as possible (To avoid too much pressure in a specific point).
2 people are needed to transport it safely.

FAQ
These are questions that people still ask:
Can a flat screen TV be transported in the car?
A flat screen TV can be transported in a car. Make sure the car is big enough to the TV. Don't take it out of the box and don't try to force it in the car.
Also be sure to keep it upright in your car.
Can an OLED TV be laid down? Can I lay an OLED TV on its side while transporting it?
The official LG website suggests not transporting the TV laying down under any circumstances. The only approved position is upright.
The reason for this is that the packaging design does not support TV laying flat, due to which transporting TV in this position might cause the panel to crack.
Laying a flat panel television on the floor can permanently damage the television.
When do you turn on an OLED TV?
An OLED TV can be turned on immediately after transportation.
It is a myth about OLED TVs that TVs should not be turned on until it returns to room temperature.
