My brother was always scared the TV would accidentally crack and implode while he was watching TV. I kept telling him that it would take a direct strike from a baseball bat or dropping it off the roof of the house to do that. Tube TVs were STRONG.

TV screens today flutter when you touch them.

Those screens are really just thin glass sandwiches.

And they're sharp too. When replacing a TV backlight I didn't think about using gloves when lifting the panel. Welp, it can cut the skin a bit. If it slipped as I held it, that would have been fun for sure...
Anyway, the correct course of action is probably suction cups. Especially with larger panels. And a second person too. This was just a 32 inch panel.
