Under the specs, all I saw for display was:

>4.3″ IPS wide-viewing angle, full color, touchsceen

Were you able to find more information somewhere else about it being crt?

He didn't say it's a CRT, he said it's a 'CRT looking thing', which it definitely is with the thick extension behind the monitor.

Personally I do like the design but I'm quite fond of Fallout/Alien style retro displays so YMMV. As a personal assistant type thing the original vertical prototype with eyes seemed better though.

He said CRT looking, I assume to mean “old-fashioned and bulky/boxy”, not that it actually was a CRT based display.
