minus-squarebaronvonj@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·1 month agoThat anger when the specs didn’t include the screen bulge in the depth measurement and now you can’t close the armoire door after carrying that shit 50 feet from the car.

minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down1·1 month agoI distinctly recall Sony’s 40" Trinitron CRT weighing over 300 lbs. The 32" was ~200 lbs.
minus-square0ndead@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 month agoYup. That was the last CRT I ever owned. Thing was a tank and took two people to carry it.
minus-squaref4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-229 days agoI have a 27" Trinitron and could barely get it into my car by myself. Probably my best curb find ever. Edit: 108lbs. And 900 US dollars new, in the year 2000; equivalent to $1,750 today.
