While we’ve been getting fatter, our TVs have been getting thinner! According to some statistics, the average TV depth has decreased from around 16 inches in the 1990s to less than 2 inches today.

The average TV’s weight has also decreased significantly, from over 150 pounds in the 1990s to less than 50 pounds today. That’s a 67% reduction! But while our televisions have been getting into shape, it seems we have taken their place in the race for who’s getting bigger.
