I worry this about a lot of things. But what alternatives are there when crts are gone or all broken?

I’ve never had a flat-screen with as good color or 0 latency like a crt. And im sure they exist theyre probably just 2000 dollars.

      I think early generation CRTs had mercury and lead in them, which made them not enviromentally friendly. Not too sure if there are any modern materials which can replace the hazardous ones.

        Why would you be unsure of that when we were producing CRTs without mercury and lead for decades?

      I wonder if someone like the Czech guy who started a nixie tube factory a decade or two ago could pivot to artisanal CRTs for deep-pocketed retro-gaming enthusiasts.
