Not that much... around 5 years ago when I got mine used I had a lower end coarser phosphor pitch model off the curb and gave it to a friend when I got mine. If the region has a thriving middle class there should be a decent number still around. Flat panel sets only starting to catch up to the contrast ratio and color reproduction these are capable of so most owners kept these sets a long time.

I used to have a Toshiba 1080i CRT Set (Flat CRT) it was a 32" set and that sucker was heavy, it probably weighed in close to 100 pounds or so!

When I went to finally take it to the landfill to recycle it, I had it in the back of my Subaru Forester and when we were pulling out of the driveway the TV lurched back and smashed my rear window!

The funny thing is that even after going through my rear window the TV was still intact!

Pro-tip: Never set a 32" CRT TV (HD or not) with the CRT facing the rear window in the back of a hatchback SUV, you'll more than likely bust out your rear window doing that when you're braking.

I picked up a Sony XRP, which I think is a 36". Two younger guys picked it up and they had to rest while carrying it. I understand, it weighs over 200 pounds.

My friend and I were disposing a really dead Sony 36" Trinitron using his GMC Safari van and while we were driving he had to hit the brakes hard ( 'cause idiot driver cut him off), the Trinitron fell over in the back of the van and the tube broke! Glass was EVERYWHERE in the back half of the interior! Took us four hours to clean up the mess! Note to self: secure thy load!

Speaking of widescreen CRT sets, Some time ago I coulda woulda shoulda picked up a Sony CURVED SCREEN 16:9 Trinitron, about 13", NTSC Japan market analogue only tv ( with mono a/v inputs). Can't remember the model number, but was a mid to late 90's set similar to the KV13xx or 14xx style of sets from back then. Was 30 bucks at an independent thrift store, Still kicking myself for letting that one go...
