I actually considered buying a big imac at one point and just transporting it around in a pelican case and use it like a laptop lol
If you do put it in a box, you can be sure that if you put it in a pelican case it will be safe. They're not cheap though.
Personally I didn't get a excessive weight charge because I got perks with some airlines but if it's under the max weight I don't think it would be a big deal, they would just charge you for a check in bag. Just make sure to ask for a fragile sticker and you'll be fine.
Actually when I checked that TV in one of the people who load the plane came up and we talked and he seemed like a nice guy. I don't think those guys go out of their way to fuck your luggage up unless your maybe in a third world country. Anywhere in the west if you check it in the fragile section with things like surfboards, golf clubs, etc, I don't think you'll have any issues.
