Just help move my sister's old Phillips 36PW9607/05

It is so big and heavy it's unbelievable!

I'm still sweating my tits off now! Why were tv's so heavy back in the day?!

With a screen that size the type and quantity of glass to contain the vacuum within it is never going to be especially light-weight!

Me, my father and sister's boyfriend all carried it.

We still struggled. What did Comet workers used to do when someone ordered a 40 inch

Anyone know how I could find the official weight of this beast?

Yeah but it is worth all the size & weight for reasonable picture.

I once saw a LCD TV demonstrated with a video of a Man wearing a black/dark outfit skiing down a snow covered mountain. lmao@ it. Try a video like that on a CRT and see how it should be done.

I tried the Philips website; the brochure is the first one I see that does not have the specification.

For comparison, my Philips 32PW9509 weighs 60kg. I would say that's 80 or more. As for 40" CRTs, that's a rare beast.
