my current plan is to build my own "container" for the tv- i think i'm going to tape a couple of very large boxes together, then cut them diagonally so that one side is as tall as the tv, while the other is only about 1.5ft tall (so i wont have to lift the tv too far off the ground). i'm gonna glue several layers of bubble wrap on the tall side to protect the screen, and build a wood frame out of 2x4s to add stability to the bottom of the box. after that, i'm gonna pad the bottom (probably with an old comforter or something) to dampen any shock. get a few guys to help me carefully lift the tv into said assembly, then i'm gonna get some packing straps to secure the entire package in all directions. this will all be carefully loaded into a moving van, and surrounded with mattresses and pillows and couch cushions and whatnot, then i plan on driving very, very slowly to the new apartment.

That is going well over the top! When I got mine from Sony it was just in a large box with a foamy sheet covering over the tele and a few pieces of polestyrene to keep the shape of the box!
