The color phousphors are different in the CRTs. This is why you must have a analog monitor connected to your PC to do color and gamma adjustments.

Thanks for your comments. Since I posted, I have done a bit of reading. It can't be done is the general answer. However, this never seemed to jive with the fact that there are a bunch of different display types out there (especially with HD). Also, it is not clear that the phosphers are truely different.
Here is the most ligit discussion of this I have found so far.
This is a piece of it in response to makeing a combo TV/PC monitor.

It's possible, and has been done (for instance, Toshiba has one product and offerings from other companies are available or are on the way). But such designs ARE compromises, and won't give the best performance possible in either application.
There is a fundamental difference between CRTs designed for TV use,
and those used in computer monitors. It's a brightness/resolution
tradeoff - TV tubes are run about 3X or so the brightness of a typical
computer monitor, but sacrifice the ability to use small spot sizes
and fine dot pitches to do this. You don't see very many color tubes
running at 100 - 150 fL brightness and still using an 0.28 mm pitch!
