It's not a crt, it's rear projection. Multiple projector heads caused some nontrivial issues with the projection "seams". At an original retail price of $15,000, very few people wanted to shell out for an ultra premium price when the monitor had a real basic, but shit problem.
Not Alienware either, it's a rebranded Ostendo CVRD43.
