The world's largest tube TV—a 440 pound, 43" Internet legend—has finally been found and saved from certain annihilation

The Sony Trinitron KX-45ED1, aka the PVM-4300, is considered to be the world's largest consumer tube TV set. With a 43" screen, the hulking CRT weighed 440 pounds. Released in 1988 in Japan and the US a couple years later, the built-to-orderproduct reportedly cost $40,000.
