I bought a Sony FD Trinitron 36" in 1999 that took three guys to move upstairs. And that wasn't a "cabinet" TV.

Heaviest, most dense, TV I have ever moved. Had to be well over 200 pounds. eta-Just found a weight for it. 223 pounds.


Some people were getting rid of theirs back in 2009 or so and my wife's parents got the idea that I should go pick it up and bring it to them. The FIL was excited to upgrade to a flat screen in his bedroom.

I get there with my wife and I couldn't believe how heavy it was. I remember (unsuccessfully) trying to convince my wife to just buy them a new TV instead of dealing with it. My back was never the same.

I remember us having a Nintendo for the longest. And then we switched to a xbox. I could tell a slight difference, but it wasn’t that much. Well I went to a friends house who had an hdtv, 720p probably. I told my dad and mom about it and was told that I’d better start working if I was going to afford one... lol

Well a year later I get a new hdtv, it was a Sony flatscreen. That muthafuka was the heaviest thing I’d ever picked up at that point in my life. I believe it was a 2003 model, and my gosh! If that thing were to fall on you from a height of a few feet above your head it would kill you.
