    Another thing besides weight that you have to keep in mind is their size. Something like a 36" CRT is going to be a tight squeeze where your house, vehicle, and where you intend to operate it is concerned.

    Before considering one that size, it's best to take some measurements first. I couldn't even fit a Trinitron about that size in my Impala, and it's a full size passenger sedan. I luckily thought about that a few minutes before leaving to pick it up and saved myself and the seller the hassle.

    24" unless you're 5'+ away, then move up to 27".

    haha this is exactly what happened to me. I got a free 32 inch Sony (the one in the pic above). I totally underestimated the size and weight. I ended up having to leave it at the curb of my house. Fortunately someone took it within minutes.
