Sony had all the coolest TVs in that era—one of the last great ones, which I've only seen in person _once_ at a broadcast TV tower site (it's still there today, and works!) was the KD-34XBR970[1]. It was 'only' 34", but it weighed nearly 200 lbs.

I believe my friend still has our 32" 1080i tube TV kicking around. All 180lbs of it. has HDMI and everything if I recall. Old consoles look awesome on it and if you can get your PC drivers to play ball games on that also look stellar, but text looks like trash.

It was also a Trinitron.

Think I had this TV. It was an absolute unit and took 2-3 people to move.

An N64 and Mario Kart completed the setup.
