Comment on Question on TV's

It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:
www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)
Response Time - Less than 0.1ms

Is there anything that’s just a “TV” with none of this extra bullshit though? All I want is a quality TV I can turn on, and it’s a TV with no lag.
I appreciate your suggestion!

What you are looking for is a monitor. A TV will be filled with features.

If you don’t connect the LG to the network it can be just a dumb monitor. Set the tv to always use the last active input when you turn it on and you will never see a menu or any prompts.

If it has that ability thata good ! But would that disable all post processing?

Basically any TV out there you can get rid of the annoying post processing. But none of them are going to be that way out of the box.

All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.

I suppose,id rather not have any of it though. Tvs never used to have any of these features and they worked just fine.

Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.
