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.

My flat screen definitely has a better picture and color thank any crt I’ve ever owned. I don’t know what you mean. Latency is not an issue on any tv made in the last ten years. Probably more.
Crts went the same place 8 tracks, cassettes, floppies, and a million other tech went.
Latency is not 0 like op suggests but he’s not entirely wrong about the latency comparison to modern displays (at a technical level for your average modern display). You are still correct that the numbers are so low typically that it’s not an issue for… 99.9% of people. Probably more, we might want to add a lot more 9s to the end.
If we’re talking to someone like a top competitive street fighter player though, I’m super interested in how they feel about CRTs vs modern displays. Note that this is also a different conversation if you’re on a TV that doesn’t have some sort of a Game Mode, those can be rough.
Great writeup on real world CRT input lag: https://www.resetera.com/threads/crts-have-8-3ms-of-input-lag-addressing-a-common-misconception-about-display-latency.40628/
Might be the case for OLED but for LCDs even in gaming mode I notice the difference in delay compared to my monitor.
Next you’ll complain about plasma screens lol
