Modern video projectors also display color channels sequentially and also exhibit that effect. Also, this particular CRT technology was not only used in oscilloscopes: [VIDEO]

The Sony Watchman[1] had the electron gun at the bottom shooting at a tilted screen instead of shooting at it from the back. This allowed to make a GameBoy-sized portable CRT TV. There is also an interesting LCD/CRT hybrid from JVC[2], it's not flat by itself, but the way it adds color to an otherwise black&white screen could be used in slim designs. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]
