The sweet spot for CRTs was 27" - any larger, and one person could no longer lift it without risking injury; any smaller, and you'd feel like you're missing out

The sweet spot for CRTs was 27" - any larger, and one person could no longer lift it without risking injury; any smaller, and you'd feel like you're missing out.
A 27" TV weighed just under 100 pounds (45kg) if I remember correctly.

- Aloha 1y agoI'd actually argue that 25" was the sweet spot, 27" was just a little nicer.
