Not sure about which model, but 200 pounds is actually a bit light for a 36" CRT.

(It's 222 pounds for those who don't want to click the link).

I used to lug around a 27" CRT by myself every time I moved, and it was a giant pain in the ass. It was worth it though for the picture quality.

→ 101kg (I suspect the figure in pounds, 222.66lb, has been converted from this.)

And for that matter, 36" ≅ 91cm, 27" ≅ 69cm, although strangely TVs are still advertised in inches in many otherwise-metric countries.

At first I wasn't sure why you were making this comment, then I realized many HN readers might not be familiar with US-centric measurements.

I guess I'm Americentric.

If you think that's heavy I've seen people selling 40" CRTs, which I think weigh around 315 lbs
