minus-squareLedivin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoIn college (early 2000s), we had a 50-something inch CRT. I think that thing weighed upwards of 500 lbs, was positively massive (maybe 3 feet deep?) and it took 4-6 people to move it in and out of our on-campus apartments every year. It was fucking baller for the time, though
minus-squareIWW4@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoHEHE I am sure it weighed more than 500 pounds! I had a 24 inch or so TV around that time and holy hell it was nuts how heavy that thing was.
OMFG they were so insanely heavy!
