Sony once made a massive 45-inch CRT TV that cost $40,000.

As spotted by Boing Boing, David L. Farquhar shares the details of the largest CRT TV ever produced. The Sony PVM-4300 “weighed about 450 pounds, stood about 27 inches tall,” and was too large to squeeze through a standard door frame.

Built by hand, only 20 were exported from Japan to the United States where they were sold with “a significant markup.”
