    I remember seeing the news, the last consumer CRT production facility stopped producing around a decade ago, but I’m having trouble finding the article. They’re still being produced for commercial uses though (Boeing 747 cockpits use them for example).

      I think those are being built out of existing tube stock, I don’t know that anybody is making new tubes. But yeah, basically.
