I had a 27" tube TV and it was a bear to move. When you start hitting 32-34" tube TVs, you need two people to move them. Now I have three TVs that I can move myself - 37" LCD, 42" Plasma, and 65" DLP. Wee!

Try moving a sony WEGA 42" HD tube tv. I had to move one of those in our lab at work a few years ago. We needed three people to move that thing... I lookd up the specs online, and found that TV weighs nearly 300 pounds

Fair enough. That's why the last tube I got was 27"! I was looking at a 40" Mitsubishi, but when I decided I'd do it, Mitsubishi had gotten out of the tube business.

Use a dolly (hand-truck), that's what I did when I helped a friend move... We basically slid the TV down the stairs on the dolly.
