They get thrown around quite a bit going from the factories that make them, to the various distributors that ship them to stores or where ever.

Is it ever really a good idea to throw electronics around?
Its not about getting scratched or dented as much as its the sudden jarring of impact.
You ever notice how all the TVs in boxes that are in stores like best Buy and Walmart are stacked vertically. When I bought my Plasma a few years ago it had a warning on the box not to lay it flat and to keep the TV upright at all times.
I'll bet the TVs are handled correctly from manufacturer all the way to the retailer ( shrink wrapped on pallets ) until the douchebag sales guy gets to throw it around in the back of the showroom
