when i went to best buy yesterday to pick up my plasma the guy who brought it out had it standing up instead of flat. as in the box was vertical and horizontal on his hand truck. is that a no no with plasma or will it be ok?

That shouldn't be a problem. You need to be cautious if you lay it flat though as that's when it's most susceptible to breaking the glass, but even that can be done without doing any damage.

Need a better description...standing up?...vertical and horizontal?

Exactly what are you trying to say?

what im saying is when you sit the tv down the box is horizontal like this

On a delivery truck, they are supposed to be transported in the upright position and not laying flat.
