Thanks for all the feedback.
Mixed opinions here as well.

The set is 5 years old so I am willing to assume SOME risk.

Just haven't made up my mind yet.

If I go the upright route, what is the best way to secure it inside the SUV?

For me, I would place it upright in the rear seat with the front facing forwards; place a lite sheet/blanket over the top protecting the screen; you can use the over-the-shoulder seatbelts to secure the television to the rear seat

Best? Not sure. But I used pillows & comforters around cardboard boxes to wedge one for transport once. We wrapped the tv in stretch film (like super-duper saran wrap for wrapping cargo pallets) with a sheet of thin foam over the glass to protect it from nicks prior to loading.

Possibly the shoulder belt would secure it properly.
