Perhaps old CRTs can be restored somehow?
There was someone here who was restoring television CRTs.
When the electron-gun assemblies became unavailable, he stopped doing it. (It's one thing taking the neck of and re-coating the phosphor: It's something else, entirely re-building/building the gun cathode.)
Much of the technology (the 'fixins' and the 'makings') is unavailable, and forgotten.
I fear, restoring these old CRTs would be fearsomely expensive.
If you have to have a CRT and want a project (perhaps equal in work magnitude to the LCD solution?)... perhaps bodging in a more modern? magnetically deflected CRT? is possible. I believe, these type of CRTs are still available.
Cheers, and all that.
