I have been to some computer stores, that don't even stock CRT monitors
any more. There are fewer models available as time goes on. I read some
articles that there will no longer be CRT monitors or TV sets to be
available in about 3 to 5 years.

Maybe some countries like China may produce some low end CRT monitors
just to fill in the markets where there are people who really want a
CRT monitor no matter what. This is soon to be seen.

With the alternatives the OP presents, the LCD would presently cost more
than four times the CRT model.
So; buy two CRT TVs and keep one as a spare. That might also take of not
having to move the TV around; however moving can also be taken care of by
using some kind of TV cart or perhaps a kitchen type microwave trolley? Also
arranging to just plug TV in a couple of places around ones domicile.
I used to have TV in the bedroom by feeding an old VCR as a channel changer
into an old Commodore monitor! It was small, very cheap and the 13 inch
quality was quite good enough for a late night watch of the news etc.
