transported standing up.

Standing up is always better, but I've transported four laying on their
back without causing damage.
The issue is the monitor/tube - it is designed to be supported upright,
not in any other position. You should open the back of the unit to
ensure that the monitor won't break free if it takes a good jolt while
on it's back.
The other heavy component is the power supply, usually located at the
bottom of the cabinet.
And of course, once you get it in place, look for objects that may have
moved. Like forgotten quarters sitting on circuit boards where they
don't belong. :-)
