Best Buy Is Advertising 32" LED For $220
720p is fine if you are watching tv/cable or youtube videos. If you wany to connect that to computer to use as monitor or hook up blueray player you will want to buy higher resolution.If it's a 720p, wait six months and they'll be giving them away when you open a checking account. Most laptops and notepads have better resolution than that.
Its definitely possible if you have one of those large rolling suitcases. I see Europeans coming to NY and do that very thing.
Also I had to do something similar to get my projector and the screen in. If you want a big screen I recommend going the projector route. The projector fits in your carry on and the screen canvas can be folded and put in your suitcase. I now have a 100" tv and loving watching sports on it.
I came down with LED projector also. Still trying to decide to make a screen or just keep showing it on my white wall which gives a great picture.
The downside to a projector is that you need a dark room for a great pic.

Get one with 3LCD's. Mine work fine in a lit room. The only time when its not viewable is in direct sunlight, but the same goes for a regular tv.
If you ship it you will probably pay about $150 to $200 in duty and shipping. About 6 years ago I did bring a 32" TV in a suitcase but technology at the airport has changed and it is probably a lot tougher to bring it in.

Today Montero quoted me $250 to ship a 32". I think for the difference and a bedroom TV, it's best to go under $200 (24"/28") and bring it yourself.

A logical conclusion I also reached.. Better to bring in a BIG TV with a Mudanza.

Might as well I agree. But for a smaller TV save the money, get a 24"/28" under $200 and bring it.
$250 just for shipping or taxes included? We got a 29" shipped via EncargoPaq just last week. Because it was under $200, we paid no taxes, just $3.5 or so a pound including taxes via air (total 3,400 pesos). Had we chosen shipment by sea it would have taken ten days but it would have been cheaper.
A friend just got a refurbished 32" on eBay for $199 including S&H had it delivered via EPS and paid 4,200 pesos.

I'd ask what they would charge to ship two. I hear you can often make your money back by shipping two and selling one.
Update: Successfully carried in a 28" plasma in my luggage and no problems. I have a study double-sided hard case medium size luggage on rollers. It was very easy.
When I picked up my Vizio 60" Smart LED at Walmart on BlackFriday (long day & long wait), they had tons of 32" LCDs for under $200. People had like two and three LCDs in their cart! It was kind of sad seeing that because I wanted to sell my old Samsung 32" that I bought many moons ago for $1,300! Jeeeesh!
I enter the airport here in SD a few times every year.
I bring in Everything!
I arrive around 4am from Boston.
They just wave EVERYONE right through, checking "Nada"!
Been that way for many years.
I have heard that Santiago is much more difficult.

Richcard, how did you manage with customs? Which airport?
I arrived in STI (Santiago), went through the scanners and nothing, right out. Like I said I have a medium double sided hardcase suitcase and packed one side with my clothes and the other with the packaging and TV right out the box. Fit like a glove and kept my $188 receipt from Best Buy just in case.
