Per a TV technician I spoke with at a local repair shop, he advised it is not worth it. Without my prompting, he suggested guidance very similar to Setup Item #5 of the HDGuru guidance, above, and said I should be good to go. Does anyone else have experience or opinion?

It's very easy to use. ^^^

HOLD IT UP" I bought a Toshiba 32" LCD model #32AV502U and in the assembly instructions for the attaching the pedestal it says "Lay the front LCD Panel face down on a flat cushioned surface to attach the pedestal to the LCD Panel". Which is the right way to do it? Your way or Toshiba's way? Will I harm my TV by laying it on its face? In your post you say “NEVER LAY A FLAT TV ON ITS FACE OR BACK.
