Be sure of the total dimensions of the box. We took a 27 inch LCD TV as checked luggage. No problem. Your risk, of course. Whether Customs stops you is another question. Have the bill to show it's under $500 (?) value so you don't have to pay duty. As noted, unless the TV is dual voltage you need to be careful of the voltage ofyour destination. And, of course, there's the broadcast system. Costco does not sell PAL-M TVs. We use ours only for satellite TV. Check with your airline in advance to make sure they will accept it. We once ran into a problem with Delta's rule to not take computer and computer screens in checked luggage (we finally put he new PC in our carry-on bag, then when we got to the gate, all large carry-on bgs were put in the checked baggage hold since it was a commuter jet--- exacly where we were at first told the computer couldn't go).
