Yeah, I was reading fairly recently about laser projectors/TVs and was wondering if that might be the answer in the future. I've heard there was some new CRTs from China, but haven't figured out if it they were newly produced to meet retro gaming demands, or it was some old stock. After scouring the net for some time, I found out that, apparently, to produce new CRTs it's not so much tech itself that is the problem, but the lack of people who know how to use it and assemble them. |
There are a few small manufacturers that exist which make specialist CRT's for industrial and commercial purposes (Think Jets/Planes), but they tend to be extremely expensive as they cannot leverage scales of economies in order to bring costs down.
Larger tubes also tend to be bulky which compounds shipping/transport costs.
There is also the toxicity of their manufacturing as well requiring things like Lead, which require special permits/licenses depending on country/locality... And they often cost a pretty penny. |
Yeah. I'm guessing something like Prysm LPD would be an actual solution, given that it's, more or less, CRT alike, but with laser instead of electric beam on phosphor, but they seem to be interested only in business applications.
Eventually, I think it will settle once we have consumer grade display technology that solves pixel/motion resolution and colour/contrast, combined with advanced shader emulations of CRT working properties.
