I had a 32" and it had a flat screen meaning the glass wasn't curved but it wasn't thin. It was also higher res than 480p, it was a transitional model before flat screens rolled out. It weighed 160lbs! I was moving it carrying it by myself and had to rest it on my thighs for a few seconds. They were bruised for a week.

Flat CRTs were probably even heavier than curved ones because the glass has to be thicker to hold vacuum with a less structurally-efficient shape.
