I have a 55" TV. I am going to ship the TV box via UPS ground. Is it safe?

I put my Samsung 55" in one, and put it in the back of a uhaul trailer, drive all the way from St Augustine Florida to Alaska and it made it perfectly. Great product, I would definitely use it again.

As far as i know, ups nor fedex will not ship plasmas due to the high risk of damaging it. If it is LCD or LED, you should be good. One option could be shippjng it with a moving/truck company.

Talk with UPS on their requirements for shipping a large TV. I used the box with a moving company and had no problems.

Yes, yes, and yes. You really must plug it in and see it work before they leave, and reject it if the screen has a crack etc. That kind of damage is not under warranty once you accept shipment. But if you insist on their living up to the White Glove delivery service, you will be fine. I think you are going to love this TV. I have the predecessor model and am thoroughly amazed at its picture, and now you can get this for much less than I did way back in 2008.

I've been using it for over a year now with a 55" Samsung and have not had any issues. It is a very sturdy, well made unit. Worth every penny and it looks nice! I think you would be fine!

It won't be a problem, it's the base of the tv and the surface area I was concerned about. Most LGs prob have the rectangular standard base, some higher models of Samsung have a different one. A 50" would be pushing it, 42" is fine

Yes, it should be. We used with our 55" plasma and it is very stable. (I believe our tv weighs in @ 100lbs). Jennifer G.

This was a package offered with the 55"LG If you can find the item on amazon or other location you can ask them your question. I feel since you get the box and the unit for the TV together it may. Just a guess though.

The box that my PMA 5031 states that it is for TV's up to 70" and rated at up to 130 lbs. I just looked it up online and the same PMA 5031, rated for 130 lbs, states that it can handle TV's up to 80". Perhaps at the time that my packing box was made they may not of had 80" TV's. I would trust it - especially since the back plate is 36" wide. the vertical "hanging" bars that attach to the TV are 18 inches long and I would guess that the bolt holes are about 16 inches top to bottom. I would suggest measuring the bolt hole distance on the TV.

There has been no problems at all with our unit, we have the 60" TV with all the extras and it's all just like the day we bought it. We are very satisfied with product

Hey there I have a 55" Samsung UE55f6510 TV from the UK, as well as an imported Playstation 2 and Gamecube all attached to my litefuze and they all work flawlessly. Here is the exact answer you are looking for The manufacturer recommends you purchase a transformer that is 100% higher then the wattage you need.You should know that you will never damage your appliance with a higher wattage transformer, however if you buy one that is not powerful enough, it will not work. Use Amps to calculate watts Volts (times) Amps = Watts, For Example 110V x 5A = 550W Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. Using them to maximum capacity will eventually burn the transformer out after prolonged use. Some items, such as, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these types of situations you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.

I imagine it is sturdy enough to hold a 55" TV, but it would look funny because you would have 7-8" of TV out beyond the cabinet, and it probably be top heavy, thus not very safe.

That's the plan :) it's sitting on the floor in the box still. I ordered a TV stand for my components, and it hasn't arrived yet. I want to have it sitting under the TV before I decide exactly how high to mount the articulating wall mount.

I don't think it can hurt anything, but seems to be an useless adaptation. I have to guess you are short of AC outlets in the vicinity of your application. As the specifications clearly state, the outlet is 15 amps. As long as you don't exceed that, I can't see the harm. I have called Leviton in the past about other devices and their customer service is great. I suggest you call them and ask the experts. I also suggest you just skip this purchase and just buy a regular outlet and plug in your surge strip and/or UPS. I use this product for behind my wall mounted flat screens TVs so the that I have protection and the power cable doesn't show.

The total weight in its shipping box is about 25 lbs (the TV is only 21 lbs, see product specs) and the box is 29"x38"x8". The TV is packed well & surrounded in its box with styrofoam inserts all around it; normally it gets delivered with no problems of any kind, unless the shipper mistreats it ,by putting heavier packages on it or laying it flat instead of keeping it upright en route.

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers. The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

If properly installed the weight should not be a problem. The problem will undoubtably come from the mounting purchases on the new TV.
