prawashi bro:  The airlines website says i can take one personal item so Im counting on it. Even if thats not true i can still take two luggages under 50 pounds ,combined. So yes, I am hoping i can check the tv as one of my luggage. Yes,  I will let you know how it rolls.

p.s : I dont know what you mean by replacing the factory shipping. coz what are you gonna replace it with? I am just gonna mark it as fragile and leave the rest on Lord Almighty.
