My uncle had a 35" CRT TV around 20-25 years ago. It was a heavy beast, and required at least two people to carry it.
On the corporate IT side we didn't see many CRT's over 21 inches. If anyone needed a larger display, like for a meeting room, we'd install a projector. They were way cheaper than the early LCD/plasma displays. The first 50" plasma we received was an NEC that cost $15,000. The users that received it complained it was much smaller than the projector display they previously had, then it was replaced with a 60" plasma NEC. It was about a year after the 50" was installed, and funny thing was it cost the same at $15,000.
