TV or not TV, that is the question

[Lokahi]

Buying a new plasma or LCD television/monitor to replace an old CRT television that time has done what time does to electronics. We had planned to wait until we are there but with the current real estate market seems we will be on the mainland awhile longer. Any experience with shipping the plasma or LCD monitors or should we consider leaving it here and purchase a new one again there?
Thanks in advance to all of you for your amazing candor and valuable submissions.
