The Sony PVM-4300 is the largest CRT monitor ever manufactured, with a 43-inch diagonal display and a weight of around 200 kilograms.

Hi

look what hey took from us

did they used trucks to transport it

>>12424848
people were stronger back then from carrying around all the crts

Back when a TV was more than just a colourful protrusion on a wall, when it was an OBJECT that commanded respect.

was there ever an anode ray tube

As the device on which we consume moving pictures has shrunk so has the value which we attach to moving pictures shrunk. The TV shied away, it took a step a back and made itself small, as if to say don't look at me.

That's pretty fucking heavy, but not when compared to my massive P1300 from the 90s.

whats a P1300

Fun fact: that is a Japanese woman and they tend to be smaller than normal womans, so the TV actually isn't that big

>>12425187
Japanese woman tend to be around 5'
Not 3'
So unless your 6'7+, there won't be a huge difference in size

Man i wanna be one of those dudes with the gigantic retro pims just to be like, 'yo, don't ya know, THIS IS CRT!' on every online platform

>>12424837 (OP)
i had a thirty something inch widescreen one and I had to carry it myself, it was heavy as shit. Must have weighed as much as a fridge just more compact.

I think this is one of the more fun facts, and probably the biggest under appreciated CRT fact.
