As one of my last monitors before LCDs took over, I had a 21-inch Sun, and boy was that sucker heavy (>30 kgs (>65 lbs)):

A neighbor gave me his aging Apple ColorSync 850 back around 1999/2000 - https://everymac.com/monitors/apple/applevision_colorsync/sp...

67.4 lbs, but 20" and 1600x1200, which was incredible 25 years ago. It was by far the best monitor of my friend group, despite the heft.

It took a long time to find an LCD to replace it with.

I think we had one of those in the Remote Sensing Lab at my university. You could fit an entire Civilisation 1 map on screen without having to scroll vertically (you still had to scroll horizontally - natch).
