Best way to move, and shall I move before carpet is put down?

Im keeping the old tv as its for retro purposes and the model is basically impossible to get, I can connect my pc to it and it has built in surround sound which is why it takes 2 people to lift which is its biggest flaw, it weighs about 70kg  I do have another old fashioned tv which weighs about 30kg and has handles on it but the picture on it is awful so giving that away.

I already have a more modern tv which will mount to wall at new place to save some space (meant to do it years ago but was worried about doing it, I even have the mounting kits) I basically use modern tv for gaming and some movies and thats about it, I use the retro tv for a lot but haven't used it much in past few months I was using it daily until about 2 years ago when I stopped having Sky. I have a lot of retro consoles and they look much better on it.

And I have been here 5 years, but the carpet is in a bedroom that only got used about 20-30 days a year as I used it as a guest bedroom and only other times I go into room is a few times a year to go into the large glass cabinet that stores my boxsets, or to run my pc for a few days doing download tasks so the carpet hasn't been stood on much.

I hope it even has underlay as the floor under it is concrete and I am sure it was glued down.

If you don't use your retro tv very much, could it go in the bedroom rather than the lounge?

I have just thought, I often use a heavy duty trolley dolly to save me having to personally lift/move around heavy items.  Mine will move items nearly 200kg, and was expensive but there are cheaper ones that will cope with 70kg.., or perhaps you could hire one to move your TV around?  You might have to place it on the trolley dolly on its side as they aren't usually super massive.  I managed to move very heavy recliner sofa seats on mine recently.  Its a god send lol. I just lean things onto it as I can't lift heavy weight items at all.
