Keep the box and it will never go wrong, chuck the box and it fails the next day.

This arrived this morning.
I now get to look at the box until the stand is delivered on Thursday.
Thankfully @dom is coming round in the afternoon to help me unpack it and position it.
Sky man comes on Friday!

That box looks harder to unpack than mine was
Clear much room and use duvets when unpacking

It is. Unlike the Philips box though, it isn’t one shot. With care and patience, you can put the TV back in it. The Philips box is designed only to get the TV to its destination. Review samples come in flight cases for this reason.
There are instructions which seemingly need to be interpreted through the medium of modern dance.
I have no idea what the 5th symbol from the left means

Broadly the general gist of what they appear to be attempting to convey is along the lines of ‘take it out the box carefully and try not to smash it you twat’

I take it to suggest dropping your TV onto its face is a good idea.
Presumably so they can sell you another one to replace the one you just broke…
Make sure that the screen is stable as you lift the outer off and take care to avoid static (shouldn’t be an issue as you don’t have carpet from memory). That’s it.

The second to last two appear to be suggesting that you should read some instructions.
What an odd concept. 
After breaking it in the previous pictures.

Mine seems to be reusable
Bigger problem is where to keep it, it’s too big to get up in the loft
I’ll se if it can be reused… if not I’ll bin it. Makes sense as most people would struggle to store such a big box anyway
I once took delivery of a giant DEC / Digital CRT monitor that I swear was lead-lined.
The outside of the box had a comedy picture of 3 people lifting the monitor out.
My back hurts just looking at it

I wrecked some part of my abdominal viscera recently lifting something like this. It hurts, and it would need an operation to put right, if operations were available, which they’re not. Just Don’t.
Don’t take this the wrong way (code for cunt mode engaged) I would say I do more exercise and lifting in a day than you do in a month. So that’s why you got hurt.

Excellent, jog over here then and give me a hand to relay the rest of these 50kg york stone paving slabs, then you can help move the front door a few times so I can size-up and fit the replacement (only 35kg, but an awkward cunting thing when there’s only one of you), then the last 2 tonnes of logs to move from paddock to store, around 5 tonnes of rubble still to skip, and only 5 trees left to fell, cut-up and split now, or if trenching’s your idea of fun, I’m only halfway round the house so far, and still got a pear-tree to dig out. And sure, it’s not a marathon, or 100 mile hike, but the dogs need a few miles - twice a day, in all weathers, whether you like it or not. There’s not much physical work here, f’sure
Lifting technique - now that really is a fail, f’sure.
PS: if that in any way reads like I’m claiming to be fit, obviously not, FAR from it.
Very nice Kevin
The 55" is my black friday target
What stand are you gonna plonk her on ?
