I think whoever told you that confused an LCD with a fridge...

Or they may have confused it with a plasma set? (Which you can't lay down at all)

Nah, that's not strictly true either... The reason they don't recommend lying down plasma screens is due to the fact that the screen is made from glass, which can be prone to breaking if bumped while lying flat. This applies more to ones with huge screens, but if you're careful and the screen isnt' too big there shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: you certainly don't have to let it settle for 72 hours afterwards anyway!
