The sweet spot for CRTs was 27" - any larger, and one person could no longer lift it without risking injury; any smaller, and you'd feel like you're missing out.

A 27" TV weighed just under 100 pounds (45kg) if I remember correctly.

Yes, a little short of 100lbs. The heaviest part of the set is the CRT, but more precisely, the front of the tube. It's very thick glass.

I'd actually argue that 25" was the sweet spot, 27" was just a little nicer.
