This guy is an amateur. Everyone knows it’s easier to carry with the screen facing your torso. Sheesh
That’s definitely the method. Screen presses against your belly and lift with your knees while a concerned person behind you keeps asking you if you’re sure you don’t need help with that 👍
I GOT IT!!!
Are you sure? It looks heavy?
If you want to help, get the cord…
Is it on the left or the right?
The right.
Your right or my right?
The side with all the wires!
Oh, that’s -my- right!
WE’RE FACING THE SAME DIRECTION!!!
You really need to manage the cord before this becomes a thing at all, smh that’s how TVs die
Tape the cord to the top
Me heaving my 17 inch CRT computer monitor into the car to go play games via
localLAN all night at my friends.play games via local LAN all night at my friends
I dunno what it was like for everyone else but it always felt like 90% of my time during these was trying to sort out compatability issues and so we’d end up just pissing around. Still great fun that I look back fondly on though!
Good ol local local area network
Shaking my smh head, laughing my lmao off
Bro, kids will never know the struggle we had setting up halo LAN parties. those tvs are monsterous.
Xbox live is fun and all but doesn’t compare to running downstairs to point and laugh at your cousin face to face after you stuck him with a plasma grenade
I remember a calibrated monitor needing two men for moving.
It was because of the shielding on the entire back.
It was a huge chunk of thick glass. The flatter they made them, the thicker the glass had to be to withstand the vacuum.
In college, a friend of mine had a TV whose picture would mess up every so often, and the solution was to take it in the hallway and drag up and then back down the hall by the power cord. Then, when set up again, it would work again.
There was never an explanation, that I know of, for why. Presumably there was some simpler method that would have achieved the same result but no one was interested in that.
Also in college, I had a “gaming” CRT that I refused to let die. Towards the end of it’s life, it wouldn’t turn on if the temperature got too low. But would work fine if I “preheated” it in the oven. Once it was on it would stay on.
It rocked on nearly a year like that until I decided to smoke a bowl while it warmed up and came back to monitor shaped blob.
How big is your oven?
CRT? You were probably generating enough static electricity to do the electron realignment thing that they usually have a button to do.
THUNK
Woooomwmwmwmwmwmwmmmmm clear picture
CRT, yes. I really hope that static electricity was the explanation honestly. I sort of always assumed that it was just tilting it forward jiggled something around back into place, something stupid like that, but they swore that was the only thing that worked. It would please me greatly to think that they were right and the dragging across carpet was actually a vital component that they had figured out.
Ours was one of those really old ones built into a wooden box. I say wood, but I’m fairly sure it was actually a mix of wood, lead, and neutron star.
Yeah, that broken thing is still here.
We can not move out.
It’s now a ‘fixture’
That’s why you needed the rolling TV cart. The one that had a bunch of VHS tapes and SNES games piled up all out of order in the bottom
Lets get a heavy piece of expensive electronics, put it at the top of 5ft tall rickety and narrow cart, and then stick it in a room full of children.
It’s amazing more kids weren’t crushed by those things.
Stairs: exists
DAS ROLLING CART DOES NUTZING!
Source: 2000 me, buying my first TV, 27" flat CRT. Upstairs bedroom. Distorted picture. Exchanged, even worse. Returned, bought different model. Total garbage. Returned, back to the first model from a different store… damn near perfect. Still have it.
