Moving a 46 Inch LCD

All right so I am moving to Minnesota from Illinois and the only thing I really give a damn about is my new Samsung 46'' LCD 1080p television. This will be transported either in its original box and packaging in the backseat of my four dour sedan or it may be wrapped up in a king sized duvet / down comforter if the box doesn't fit. There is a possibility it may have to lay flat, or on a diagonal.
Is there any risk to the screen / television by laying flat, on a diagonal or possibly vertical if I use a hand truck to get it into my actual apartment building? The drive will be about 4.5 hours if that is any issue.

I am in the business of saving lives.

That's exactly what I thought, but I wanted to get some more info.
"Fragile, yes - as two sheets of glass are compressed together to form the plasma display element. While they must be handled with care, the main consideration is keeping them upright. The plasma glass is weighty and can crack if a plasma television when laying face down is jarred or dropped. Aside from that there is nothing really to be concerned about that you would not ordinarily consider"
