Yeah, we actually cracked the plastic on the Sony just getting it in to my car, unfortunately. The Toshiba is a lot easier to move around, and I can actually lift it by myself, although I cannot carry it more than a few feet without at least one other person helping me. I was told the Toshiba was being carried back and forth to video gaming conventions all the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some internal damage to the tube, although I don't know what symptoms I would have to look for to confirm this.
EDIT: But yeah, I'm thinking I should definitely look for a 27" set, or maybe even a 23" again. I used to use a basic cheap-o 23" set, and while it had terrible picture geometry, it did have absolutely no color purity issues. I disassembled it to mount the CRT in an arcade cabinet I'm slowly building from scratch, though, and I'd rather use a set with component video inputs for my daily watching.
