hmmm - this is a sketchy one .... long before 'the flat screen', I carried a small TV/Video combo down - VERY well packed in my large checked case (well labeled FRAGILE); during the commotion that happens with loading the luggage and whatnot, there was some sort of breakage within the TV .... it would not work upon arrival.

I know of returning residents carrying in larger flat screen TV's still in the original packaging - and getting charged CRAZY Duty fees ... even though they had their Jamaican documentation, and proof it was for their own household use, yada yada.

I know of Americans carrying in Flat Screen that was only large enough to fit into their carry-on luggage - so not sure what size that would be??? not very big.

If I carry in another one, it would be one that could fit into my carry-on, I would not trust a larger one getting tossed about in my checked case.
