I had a flat CRT. It was even heavier than a regular one.

They're under a pretty high vacuum inside, so the flat glass has to be thicker to be strong enough

Yeah I suspect there's some lensing going on in there too which adds more weight.

yeah my parents had a trinitron, that thing weighed a whole cattle herd. The magnetic field started failing in the later years so one corner was forever distorted. It was an issue playing Halo because I couldn't read the motion tracker (lower left)
