Rolling Up a Flatscreen TV

[memetic]

Hi Everybody,

I am new here obviously. Recently, I moved to Brazil from the USA. All my belongings are still in the USA in storage. I have a 52" flatscreen TV I want to take to Brazil on my next flight back. The TV is worth almost nothing to resell.

I watched youtube videos about how to tear down the TV, but I don't know if once it is tore down if I can roll up the screen components for transport. I don't care about all the plastic bezel parts. I just want the screen and everything needed to use it. The aluminum frame I can break down and put back together in Brazil.

Thanks for any input.

Did you say, you want to roll up screen from flat tv

On another note, buy smal projector.

 

[memetic]

Yes.

You cant roll up screen, you can but you cant use it after, it has small cristals that would be damaged,

 

[memetic]

So it has to stay flat?

Thanks

Maybe I can sandwich between cardboard?

The TV is LCD, not LED or plasma.

The TV is LCD, not LED or plasma.

that doesn't change the advice given

ohhh and a LED TV is still an LCD TV ... it just means that the LCD backlighting comes from LED's and not fluoro tubes

 

[memetic]

Yeah, I understand that now -- been researching more. I wasn't trying to make an argument, just state the facts.

 

[memetic]

I wish I could roll this up.

Will the TV work with the Brazil TV system that might be different to the American TV system?

 

[memetic]

Yes. I only use it to watch movies from my computer anyways though.

I just need to find a way to transport it as compact as possible.

you will probably find it cheaper to buy a TV at the new location ....
the cost of securely packing and shipping your existing screen would possibly cost a respectable part of a new TV

it would have to be packed VERY securely, in a sturdy preferably wooden box, the slightest twist,drop, bend and the screen will shatter

Yeah, unfortunately, I think you are correct.
