      I used to have a 27" set. Probably weighed about 150 lbs. It had bowed the platform on the entertainment center. I wish I hadn’t got rid of it. Those things fetch a pretty penny these days. Old games just look fantastic on a CRT.

    Gotta lift those with the screen to your body my man. This gives you a slightly greater chance of surviving stepping on the cord as you waddle it.

      I’d always grab mine from the front cause the tube was the heaviest bit

      Undersides always built like a knife drawer, all crisscrossing plastic that’d destroy your palms.

      Monitors were easier to lift, but the swivel stand was a negotiation every time you set it back down.

    I had one until about 10 years ago. I was moving and planning to take it with me, but I dropped it on the way to the truck. So it went in the dumpster.

      yeah, after helping the 3rd guy with moving his gaming rig (those big towers were not lightweight too, some of them were heavy like they were made of lead) to the LAN i normally tapped out and let the others cover the rest.

    Nowadays if you’ve got a fancy one you’ve gotta do do your best not to accidentally tear it in half

    Shit. I had a Zenith Space Command up into 2004 or so. It started smoking so we decided it was time to replace it.

    Google that shit. It almost killed my friend helping move it.

    I had a 55 inch TV that I bought in 2005 right before flat screens became common. Thing was so heavy it was on wheels.

    When it finally died, I used it as a TV stand for my TV.
