Question Shipping a 50" TV as checked baggage

I'm thinking of shipping a 50 inch TV as checked baggage to an INTERNATIONAL destination. Here is what I read. TV is worth $450 new and will be ship in original box.
United recommends that you do not pack high-value, fragile or perishable items in your checked baggage. United will accept such items as carry-on baggage (subject to carry-on baggage allowances) or as checked baggage (subject to checked baggage allowances). If you choose to pack high-value, fragile or perishable items in or as checked baggage in connection with travel within the United States, United is not liable for the loss of, damage to or delay in delivery of such items. For most international travel, United’s liability for destruction, loss, delay or damage to checked and unchecked baggage is limited.
I can't seem to find what the "limited" amount is for INTERNATIONAL flights? Guidance appreciated. (I'm new at this)
