I’m a little out of the loop on TV’s. I mainly PC game, but have a few consoles as well. My question is, what is a TV made today that just has the lowest possible input lag? I don’t give a crap about quality or any of this 1440p (i?) stuff (stopped caring many years ago. I still watch VHS tapes on my CRT’s). All I care about is input lag because it ruins the gaming experience for me.

Currently have a shitpile Insignia that is so bad, you can’t game on it (even racing games) and it’s so slow that video and audio often get out of sync on it and it needs a factory reset. It was free so i’ve been using it but it’s just upsetting me now. I’m wiling to drop $500-800 on an enjoyable gaming TV if something like that exists for that price. Something 40" or so is just fine with me. For reference the newest console on it would be a Xbox 360. I don’t play anything older than PS2 on modern TV’s as CRT’s are better in every way for old consoles.

Otherwise, I’ll just go back to all CRT and projector TV for consoles.

thanks yall!’

Edit: i also didn’t clarify, but I’d really like to not use a smart TV. I really hate them. I just want a TV to be a TV if possible, or have the least possible amount of features.

    Most people will recommend avoiding any “smart” features on the TVs sets and say buy a monitor cause they have no smart features. Rightfully so, TVs can be privacy nightmares potentially.

    That said I have recommendations for both:

    Midrange TV pick: LG 48B5 - $529 at Best Buy

    Fancy smaller Monitor Asus ROG Swift 32 OLED Monitor

    Premium TV LG C5 (Available in 42, 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

    Ultra Premium LG G5 (Available in 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

    Budget TV TCL QM7K

    Budget Monitor Samsung G5 series

    Pound for pound dollar for dollar LG makes the best OLEDs and overall TVs. Sony is good but not worth the premium anymore.
