    If you want to prevent your TV from getting stolen just get a Trinitron, it’s heavy as fuck and old enough where no thief would take thier time to steal it. Mine’s 109lbs

      I genuinely had to leave a Sony Wega behind when I last moved. It was my landlord’s and I would have bought it off of him, but it was just not possible to move it. It was there when I moved in, it stayed there when I moved out. You could make an olive orbit around that gravity well.

        Thank you for leading me down this rabbit hole of looking up Wega, which was a German manufacturer of hifi equipment bought by Sony. They apparently made tapedecks for the Sony Elcaset format, which became an even deeper rabbit hole… TIL!

            Is THAT what happened to Aiwa? I had never made the connection.

            I didn’t even know Wega was in reference to a company they bought. I always thought it referred to their flatscreen trinitons and nothing else.

            That thing struggled to keep geometry, but come on, it was a humongous widescreen CRT with stereo speakers that could replicate the Tunguska crater. You gotta love it.
