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 read this interesting article about a guitar that Fender made forever. They had to discontinue it because the auto industry changed the materials they used and they could no longer get the stuff they needed to make it. The supply chain completely vanished and they were too niche to stand a chance of keeping it going.
