There is no evidence to substantiate that claim, meaning there is no statistical health significance between high levels of CRT exposure and a control.

I can't understand why this holocaust of dynamic range and holocaust of natural degrade happened without people complain.

Because it used to cost $600 on sale to get 19" of VGA viewing. The display would take forever to turn on, consume a lot of electricity, and when you finally did want to get rid of the thing, you had to pay an extra disposal fee.
I've got 2x 24" monitors that take up no desk space, very little electricity, and look good enough to do my work, and they cost $100 each.
You can get OLED displays with excellent dynamic range, but those cost a lot still.
My main TV is still a plasma from 8 years ago. I'll probably skip LCD and go straight to OLED once they come down in price. Either that, or TVs will go away and VR will replace it.
Eventually visual signals will be produced directly in the optic nerve without any screen or light source. This could approach the resolution and refresh capabilities of the brain.
