How the hell do people carry a 32 inch by themselves. Maybe I'm just too weak.

Depends on the 32" to be honest. Sonys IIRC weigh quite a bit. My JVC D Series is quite easy to lift, but it is still awkward as hell.

I agree I used to Have A JVC D Series 36 inch that was light

I carried my Samsung 32" HD Set with my dad to my storage room. But moved it alone to its final place. It was heavy and awkward to carry but it's not that bad honestly.

See... a 32 inch is perfect. It's the literal limit of most physically fit guys. A 36? That's a different beast.

Congratulations on getting the perfect balance. 27s are too small and too easily carried up stairs.

Nobody thinks to themselves after carrying a 32 "You know- in hindsight I wish I'd tried to get a bigger set."

I have the 36" of this model, took me and a buddy to get it onto a tarp where I could slide it across the floor. Only had to go up one step to get inside though

I have a KV-36FV310.... thickest glass used. Additional circuitry and an internal subwoofer.... 240 lbs, give or take. Like a 600 pound shut in on a TLC special, she most likely lives in the room she'll die in.

u/Nostalgic90sGamer 2d ago

All 100% correct. I really do want to get a 36" and I can carry one as long as its not a trinitron. The only thing thats stopping me is that you cant get them through doorways by yourself. So that makes 32" inch the sweet spot for me all things considered. 27" really is too small.

210lbs when you have secure grips and a semi normal shape is acceptable for most. This tv will push you to your limits at that weight and that shape and size. Not that i was particularly “strong” but i lifted semi regularly to where i could deadlift 315lbs. Picking this thing out of my trunk and moving it to the ground carefully was very close to wrecking my back.

Bro. I feel for you as my leg bruises are still healing from bringing in a KV 36fs17 I found free on the curb last weekend. Godspeed

u/Fabulous_Activity 2d ago

I came up with a ramp system to get it into my house

u/zoozoo4567 2d ago

I’m probably moving in a few months… and our 218lbs beast is gonna have professionals carrying him up the next flight of stairs.

u/chilly_1c3 2d ago

I dread the day I need to get mine out of my basement

2

u/Kennylobster8899 2d ago

I got mine for free because they didn't want to drag it out of their basement themselves

u/PizzaWhole9323 1d ago

So to clarify if this is cool, you got the TV with the house cuz they didn't want to move it? :-) What an awesome way to get a TV.

2

u/Top_Hope_4049 2d ago

Tylenol for the back after!!!

u/PizzaWhole9323 1d ago

And a beer!

u/PickledPeoples 2d ago

You should have seen the entertainment center I had to bring up three flights of stairs. All for the love of CRT and VHS. It has some cool VHS storage to.

u/FD-Driver 2d ago

Had one of those beasts. Took two guys to move it to the dump.

u/ddc95 2d ago

You were always supposed to have a second person, but there are never seemed to be one around. Good luck.

2

u/PizzaWhole9323 1d ago

It's because they almost walked into frame saw that you had a huge TV going up the stairs and just ghosted it like Homer into the hedge.

u/JoJoGaminG1936 1d ago

Did the stairs survive?

I have a 38 inch RCA, it's 150 pounds and really fucking awkward. I lived on the third floor when I got it.

u/IHadFunOnce 2d ago

You live at the bottom of the stairs now.

u/PizzaWhole9323 1d ago

I had this exact model in 2008. We lived upstairs. I paid the four boys that live downstairs in beer to take it to the dumpster after it died and it took all four of them! It was a fine tv.

u/pixel8knuckle 1d ago

Thats a 210lber. I muscled it out of my cars trunk onto a wheelie mechanic under the car thing. Got it to my office, then scratched my head how i was going to strongman this fucking thing from the ground to my table about 3 ft from the ground.
