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.

To everyone saying buy an OLED - that's way overkill for PS2/360/PS3 games lol.

To play those consoles games, just get any 1080p 60hz tv or monitor that has a game/pc mode. Anything above that is overkill and literally a waste of money. Basically any cheap no-name brand TV will be fine, because for those generations the input lag from the tv is the last thing you have to worry about.
