I have a 120 lb 30" 1080i CRT, that thing is heavy! It took me, my mom, and my brother to lug it up the stairs to my room. I just recently moved it to my brother's room since i just got a new LCD 1080p tv, and it was super heavy all over again. Well I'm happy I got a really light flat panel, because I could carry that myself. Although the black levels aren't great and the saturation could use a slight bit more, I think the benefit of the weight far outweighs the other problems. Plus my old CRT HDTV was displaying green pixels in dark areas and it wasn't that great looking that way. I like my new LCD 10x better than my CRT because it is 1080p, so I can run my PC perfectly at 1920x1080 and it's easy to see with no flicker, and it also properly deinterlaces 1080i movies to 1080p24, which is amazing.
