Why do I care how much my TV weighs? I had no problem loading my $40 TV in and out of my car and putting it where I wanted it. Until I decide to move it, and I can't see that happening anytime soon, the extra weight means nothing.
If I was carrying this TV in and out of the house (like when I take my garage 13" into the backyard) then size and weight would be a factor. For a stationary TV it's a non-issue.
The $40 TV was for the basement and will never be used as a monitor, so that feature doesn't enter into this discussion.
This TV is attached to basic cable. If the picture quality of a 720p TV on basic cable is anything like my HD TV on non-HD stations, I'll stick with a CRT. The shows I like to watch aren't on HD-DTV, so that's no help.
The key factor here is that all of my CRT TV's are for "distraction" while working in the garage, doing laundry, getting dressed for work, etc. and for watching things like sports without being limited to one room. For dedicated "I'm going to sit down and watch TV" viewing, I have my HD-TV in the living room.
I can't justify $100 for that type of use when $40 TV's are readily available.
