This is the reason not to do it! Even if it looks OK when you get home it could have cracked under the frame where it's not noticeable. Then over time with the heat cycles of the TV the glass cracks more and more. Might be well out of the return period before it's noticeable.

Ever notice how glass repair trucks always have the glass sheets on edge and never flat? There IS a reason for that.
