lol .... the last CRT TV I owned was a 36" behemoth ... it was as deep as it was wide and weighed about 100lbs as a lopsided box (all the weight was in the front and not the back) ... I was just getting into LCD TVs at the time and I moved the 36" CRT to the basement and planned on placing it front of my treadmill to watch TV. I had to place it about chest height above the ground on a heavy platform I built ... I just about ruined my back carrying the damned thing downstairs, then lifting and moving it into place. Because its a big lopsided box, the weight easily makes you do unnatural things to your spine. I felt like an ancient Egyptian placing a stone on the pyramids.
