He's right... Take help. They're bulky, and two of the handholds are placed under the front lip of the cabinet, and the other two at the top of the back. I've carried the 34XBR910 myself, I'll tell you it gave me a run for my money.... And I'm an amateur weighlifter/bodybuilder with no trouble grabbing a 1960s roundie color console and running up the street with it. It's actually more difficult, in a way, to move those big WEGA sets with two people because of the weight all being in the very front. Both people carrying it will have to support 1/2 the weight of the TV with one hand, in a terrible balance lop-sided on the spine. With one person, all the weight is flat to your chest, and not such a bad balance.
One more tip: When moving any of the WEGA flat tube sets, I'm told that you need to keep the set upright. On the old standard convex tube sets, you would lay them on their faces, which was fine for the tube. Not the case with the flat tube, as the shadow mask can actually bend under its own weight when flat. If you must lay it flat on its face, be really careful when driving over a bump or dip!
