That 27-inch "portable" CRT TV weighed 90 pounds.


I had a 32" HD with the 16:9 CRT screen. It was 185 pounds.

I had a 60" mother-in-law who was 220 pounds.


I didn't know they made CRTs that big. Are you talking about a
projection TV with 3 CRTs?



The biggest CRT for 4:3 was 35", but the 32" was the biggest 16:9.
Projection TVs were in the 40" range but had a crappy picture, IMO.

The biggest mother-in-law for the 1900's was 240 lbs, but the biggest
for the 200's has been 293 pounds. Both had a crappy picture, IMO.
