70in CRT monitor?? Wasn't 43in Trinitron largest CRT ever created?

It was a few decades ago so I'm probably misremembering the diagonal dimensions entirely. I recall it taking 3 large people to even lift it, and it was HUGE by all CRT standards I've seen since. It had glass so not a projection. It had come from the University where random computer shit got thrown before "recycling" (students usually grabbed it before it got anywhere though)

I apologize for my very faulting memory, likely was just the 45" Sony, otherwise it was a one off from the SGI labs.

Yep. Either projector or rear projector or didn't happen. I think 70 was pretty big for a rear projection unit.
Probably a crt projection tv.
