I had a 32” 4:3 trinitron I used to use for vintage gaming and damned if that thing didn’t weigh 130 lbs.

  I've got a 36" in my office and it's a monstrosity. I need to vacate my office in the near future and moving it out is the part I'm least looking forward to. Granted, I was a much younger man when I moved it in but I kind of can't believe I did it by myself with only the help of a skateboard and some movers' straps. It's a wonder I didn't kill myself or the set. There's no way I'm doing that again.

    How long has it been in it's current position? I ask, as ours had spent years in the exact same spot without moving until the studio was moved into a new location. The new location was 90° from where it had been previously. During that time the unit had become aligned to the earth's magnetic field so that in the new location we had to do something specific to it to "undo" that. I wasn't around when it actually happened, but it took some serious research to get it resolved. It was something that was not unheard of, and once the right person was contacted and had the issue described he immediately asked if it had been recently moved. Sorry I can't give you the procedure, but at least you'll be aware of potential thing that can happen when you move it

      Wow. That's not an issue I'd heard of either. How long was it there? Mine has been in its current position for about five years. I was being slightly hyperbolic about being much younger -- but it was pre-40 and pre-kids, so not too much.

        It was there at least 5 years as well. We might be talking about different monitors though. This one was the flagship broadcast reference monitor not a consumer TV if that has anything to do with it.
