Highly recommend the Sony Trinitron for MAME
FrizzleFried:
I have a Sony Trinitron 36" in the living room... HOLY CRAP is it a monster. Easily the heaviest TV I've ever attempted to lift. Even with two decent sized guys it was a major ---smurfette---....almost as if it was filled with lead or something.

Mine crapped out a few years ago but what I found to be more of a pain in the ass than the weight is the ---smurfing--- honeycomb design underneath the tv. It digs into your hands when you move the ---smurf--- and it's brutal.

And how! I bring a table up from the basement to set mine on when ever I need to pull it out of the built-in to work on it. To heavy to set on the floor and then get back up again. It is an early HD model and the picture kicks the crap out of any LCD I've seen. Too freakin' heavy per square inch though.

Luckily with my model of TV and related models, there's a nice handy place to put your hands to lift it right at the bottom sides:

It gives you a bit more than 1cm of clearence, but more than enough to put your fingers under without any weight on'em and it's smooth. :)
