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.

There are repair shops around that repair old CRTs: https://www.k-and-s.com/electronics/crt-repair
And apparently they are still making CRTs in China. I saw it about a year ago and you have to buy like 100 of them at a time. Never confirmed it myself so take it with a grain of salt.
Theres also converters that will add scan lines in, making hdmi look like old crt television.
So lots of options. But I think it will eventually die and thats ok.
Scan lines alone are not enough, but good shaders can come close:
