minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 days agoI was in IT support when an entire school (granted they only had like two computer classes but) needed to be updated from some 24" CRTs to TFTs. A 24" TV was already somewhat heavy, but not horrible. Computer screens heavier. I had to lob like 60 of those around the whole day. So if the CRT TV’s were like cement, the CRT PC screens were like lead. I’m not completely sure they were 24", but at least 23". Weighted like 25-40 kilos. (60-90lbs idk)
