Checklist for moving your TV
Inventory: Note down the TV model, size, and weight. This information is vital for choosing the right packaging material and organizing the transport.
Scheduling: Decide when the TV needs to be disassembled and packed. Allocate enough time to accomplish everything carefully and avoid any rush.
Material procurement: Acquire a suitable box, sufficient padding materials, and strong tape in a timely manner. Ensure you use high-quality materials to provide optimal protection for your TV.
Provide tools and aids
Make sure you have all necessary tools and aids ready before you begin dismantling and packing your TV. This saves time and stress, allowing you to work efficiently. We recommend putting together a small toolbox containing all important utensils. Also, remember to have a camera or smartphone ready to document cable connections. This will significantly ease reconnecting your TV at the new location. Find more preparation tips in our article Migration Tips.
What you should have ready
Screwdriver: You will need a suitable screwdriver for removing the stand or wall mount. Ensure it fits well in your hand and doesn't damage the screws.
Cable ties or tape: Use cable ties or tape to secure cables and prevent them from tangling during transport.
Camera or smartphone: Photograph the cable connections before disconnecting them. This will ease reconnection at the new location.
Optimise cable management: How to avoid chaos when connecting
Good cable management is crucial to quickly and effortlessly getting your television running again after the move. Carefully document the cable connections and store the cables securely. We will show you the best way to proceed. The key is proper preparation to avoid chaos later on. Make use of our expertise to ensure your TV move is as stress-free as possible. Further information on moving can be found at keske-umzuege.de.
Cable Management: Documentation and Safe Storage
Meticulous cable management is essential for the smooth restarting of your television in the new location. Take the time to document the cable connections and store the cables securely. This will save you plenty of time and hassle later on. We recommend not just unplugging the cables, but taking a photo beforehand. This provides a visual reference to assist you in reconnecting them. Label the cables additionally to avoid confusion.
Photographing Cable Connections
Take a photo before unplugging the cables to simplify reconnection at the new location: Use your smartphone or a camera to take one or more pictures of the back of your television before unplugging the cables. Ensure the cables and connections are clearly visible. (GOK1846)
Labeling and Securing Cables
Label the cables with small labels or tape to clearly identify them. Note which plug belongs to which connection. This will greatly facilitate the reconnection at the new location. Use cable ties to bundle the cables together and prevent them from getting tangled. Store the cables in a separate bag to protect them from damage. More tips can be found at heimerl.de.

Removing the Stand and Accessories
Before packing your television, you should remove the stand and any accessories. This makes transport easier and prevents damage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly disassemble the stand. Store the screws and accessories safely so you can reassemble everything at the new location. If you are using a wall mount, you should also remove it and fill any holes in the wall if necessary.

Further information on the topic of packaging can be found at shurgard.com.
Original Packaging: The Ideal Solution
The original packaging offers the best protection for your television. It fits perfectly and has integrated cushioning that optimally protects the TV from shocks and vibrations.

Fill the box with sufficient cushioning material to protect the TV from shocks and vibrations. Use bubble wrap, foam padding, or blankets to optimally cushion the TV. Make sure the TV cannot move within the box. Further information can be found at otto.de.
Selecting a Suitable Box
Sturdy box in the right size: Choose a sturdy box that is large enough to accommodate the television, but not too large so that the TV cannot move.
