Don't bring your US TV! Avoid Customs issues, electrical issues, compatibility issues, breakage and insurance issues, etc.

As stated above, most apartments come with TV (1 or more), and many times they are flat screen--if old, negotiate with landlord to put in a new flat screen. Furthermore, most apartments geared to expats already are hooked with cable (for Chinese TV) and satellite (for limited foreign TV, emphasis on limited), which are included in the rent.

Sell the TV, board it with a friend or relative, or put it in storage. Focus on bringing only the things you really need and cannot easily find in China.
