Q: Give me the dimension on the box so I can measure the van before I pay for it

A: Just FYI... We had to use a 15-passenger van with the seats out... to fit it in and still had to put it in at an angle. And, used ratchet-straps and seat belts to secure for the 1.5 hour drive home. From Best Buy's website - Box Dimension: Height - 48.7 inches Width - 81.7 inches Depth - 8.7 inches Hope that helps.

Q: Is this TV good for terrace/ outdoor use
