Default Weight of 32" to 35" flat screen CRT tv's?

I bought a Sony 46S2010 720P LCD for christmas. Others have complained
about cloudiness but I see none. I did have to return the first one I
got because a row of pixels went out. I think that first set had been
dropped by the CC warehouse because the box was slightly damaged and the
styrofoam cushions were cracked up. I have wall mounted the set and am
pleased. It is much lighter at 66lbs then the Toshiba 35" CRT.

burden my neighbors with this!




That's too bad, I was just going to ask for their PHONE NUMBERS!!! ;-)

I did look on the Sony site (thought of it right after I posted, naturally
;-\ ). They list their 36" FD Trinitron® WEGA® Digital TVKD-36FS170 as
weighing 216#s. Doesn't say though if this is shipping weight, though I'm
guessing the packing wouldn't add more than 20#s, if that. So the mothers
ARE heavy, and older examples probably even more so. I actually DID have a
larger TV, a Samsung LN-S4695D 46" LCD television, which I returned recently
due to dissatisfaction with the picture (cloudiness & poor shadow detail,
which I posted about here earlier). At this point, I'm waiting until 1080p
plasmas become more prevalent/CHEAPER. Would love to get this award-winning
50" Pioneer plasma,

but at 8 grand, my wife'd kill me ;-) I thought a cheap used flat screen of
decent size would be a good stop-gab that we could move to the bedroom or
elsewhere later on. Having a helluva time going back to my 18 year old 25"
sharp!!!

Thanks for the replies.
