Default Who's still making CRTs?

They are using up old inventories. On a small scale, there are still
monitors being assembled using CRT's. When they run out of CRT's, there
will
be no more. In many countries new CRT consumer product manufacturing will
no
longer be legal or no longer legal to sell, due to the pollution problems
caused when disposed back to the environment.

There may still be some CRT's made in the Orient for limited markets where
they are allowed to be sold. There will still be specialized CRT's made
for
instrumentation where they are still used, until alternative technology is
found.

Presumably, you're referring to the RoHS directive, and the lead in the
glass faceplate of a CRT ? This is an exempted technology, so whilst CRTs
may be dying out for various reasons, illegality of production and sale in
countries signed up to the directive, will not be one of them.
