We have a flat screen TV and DVD combination, which currently we store, flat side down, in the bottom of the wardrobe for travelling.
This is not ideal since anything we put on top of it is disturbed when we get the TV out.
I wondered about storing is sideways (sort of upright) but then I'd need to install straps to secure it.
Does anyone have other ideas?

We have travelled with the tv face down on the front lounge cushion and the edge of the stand pushed down between that and the centre wrap-around cushion. Throw a rug/blanket/coat on top and it won't go anywhere.

When we had a "loose" TV (ie not one that slid out of a dedicated cupboard), I made a padded bag by fully lining a "bag for life" with umpteen layers of bubble wrap that we already had..
But that was before I knew you could just buy the ruddy things!
..and once stuff was hanging in the wardrobe the bag would sit, securely wedged in, against the back wall of the wardrobe.

We just lay it face down on the front seat cushion. Have done for years and never had a problem with that.

Ours fits into a zipped computer bag, the kind that looks like soft squidgy wet suit material, not the ones that look like a suitcase. Goes into a top locker.
