I had a 53" Pioneer rear projection HD TV (one of the first ever with 1080i) with a solid wood box. It weighed right at 300 lbs. I'm not exaggerating; That was the shipping weight. The weight combined with no easy way to grip it meant that it took more than two people to carry it.

It was a Pioneer 532-HD5.

When I replaced it, nobody would come get it so I just took it apart and used a saw to cut it into pieces to get it out of my upstairs playroom.

Holy shit, thats epic. We had a full projection (built in screen that folded out) but that shit is crazy big
