Question on TV's (sh.itjust.works)

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.

You can't get a decent non-smart TV, but you can just not connect a Smart TV to the internet.

Any TV you buy will have a range of "picture quality enhancement" settings. These all introduce some rendering latency. Game modes on TVs (for the most part) bypass the PQE functions. Rtings.com is a quality source for this kind of info. They do good work and publish their testing methodologies.

Source... worked a shitload of years in TV electronics, and was part of the industry from Smart TVs being godawful to just a few years ago.
