My father bought one of the first HDTVs around 2002 or 2003, I think. The fricker was only 32" but I swear it weighed 250 or 300 lbs. Had well over a foot in depth. He paid $3500 for something that barely got any HD programming.

I've had an old 37" TV in my garage that I haven't turned on in 6 or 7 years. Goodwill came by the house a few years ago to pick up some stuff I was donating and said they couldn't take it. Not sure I can even pick it up on my own anymore because of my fragile back. Not sure what to do with it. Doesn't fit in the garbage cart.

Updated pic with a older tv, not the same tv.

Im pretty sure this tv is closer to 15 years old, and Im sure it has another 30 years left.

You've got to be kidding. That's a small TV.

This one is probably 20 years old. It was left in the house by the previous owners, along with a bunch of other shite. House was a foreclosure. It was a decent basement TV before HDTV became more affordable.
I've even put a couple of ads on Craigslist offering it for free to whomever came to get it, but not takers.

Get a bigger TV image. That one makes you look like a 5 year old. it's like a 13" TV.

In college I had one of those original big screen TVs, the ones that were like the size of an entire wall of the room. It was so big and took so many people to move it down 3 flights of stairs that nobody ever kept it when they moved out of the apt, they just sold it to the next occupants for 100 bucks. I was like it's 5th owner

Put it on the curb 2 days before trash day it'll grow legs and walk away, especially if you put a sign on it that says it works.

You have spaghetti arms, don't you?

No.

To me it's more about how unwieldy they are, not the actual weight. They're so thick that you can barely get your arms around it.

If it is a Sony wega, it is about the weight. My folks had a 40" that was over 300#. Great picture, but I swear the thing was 90% lead

I am trying to hoard some good ones for retrogaming.
Thinking about it I am kinda a dead TV technology collector. My favorite piece of electronics in my house is my Panny Plasma.

When I worked at Circuit City in the early 2000's, the (as far as I know) largest flat-screen CRT-based HDTV ever made was being closed out; this 40" Sony. 325 pounds was curb weight, and there were no handles. My back still hurts from moving the two or three we sold.

We have a 45" Mitsubishi tube tv on the cooking porch of the hunting camp. It seriously weighs about 300 pounds. We cant keep theives from stealing stuff (gas out of ATV, bags of charcoal, the cable from our skinning rack etc.) but nobody has tried to steal that tv.

I had one like that too.Mine had handles, but was so still a bitch to move.Every damn apartment complex I lived in, I was always stuck on the top floor.Don't miss moving it at all.Finally gave it away to my parents, who don't watch much TV.Don't know what they did with it.
