I am thinking of using an oscilloscope tube and will probably need 2-6kv depending on the tube.
I don't know your background but designing a TV from scratch is a big project. Oscilloscope tubes generally don't need much more than 2 KV anode voltage even with post deflection acceleration. It might be better deciding on the CRT tube first (what you can find), then designing from there.
Too high an anode voltage could cause problems such as focusing.
