I currently own 2 big screen TV's I've played games on and have been decently up to date on research as of december of this year cause I was thinking about buying another one. IMO unless you are competitive gaming the differences in most tv's on game mode is pretty non-noticeable. I have a 60 inch sony 1080p tv I mostly console game on and the latency is not noticeable for normal gaming. I don't mean that in a "just don't pay attention" kind of way but I think the MS is right at 20 input latency. I also have a 75 inch high end sony 4k tv and a 2k Gsync monitor in the same room. I have held 4 events at my house where all of these devices have been in use at this point between souls based games and monster hunter world and I honestly don't notice the difference.
I think that a lot of big screen tv companies have become aware that people are gamers and when they don't lock you out of dropping post processing most tv's have a very good response time even into the massive tv sizes nowadays.
To put this into perspective a friend of mine had a name brand "big screen" that was only 50 inches from 10 years ago and the response time was absolutely 100% noticeable. We'd both push a button at the same time and one person would be starting an action while another was close to finishing it on a souls type game. It was ridiculously bad.
I know for a fact that these product lines have great response times: Basically any sony, samsung 8000 series, and vizio M series. I can't comment on LG too much though. Personally dollar for dollar vizio M series perform really well when your primary focus is gaming. It isn't their bargain line of TV's, they are backlit which is really nice, and their response times are usually tops for gaming. I'm personally a sony fan but at this point I think it's more nostalgia. There was a period of time where Sony was the only brand that really didn't lock you out of completely turning off post processing so it was the obvious best brand of TV for gaming but everyone else has caught up over the last 6-7 years it seems.
I gotta say the Sony 2017 "850E" model is standing out to me right now as the best value among all potential gaming UHDTV purchases:The obvious choices are the sony xbr65x850e the sony xbr65x900e and the LG C7 OLED. Those are all good tvs.
The best 4k picture will be on the c7 OLED.
rtings had the c7 as the best TV of 2017 as well.
Different brands have different upscaling quality as well, but Ive heard good things about Sonys upscaling.
Burn in is not an issue on the c7, and I havent heard of anyone complaining about it.
OLED pixels can light up individually as well for more realistic lighting and perfect blacks.
The 850e has about 450 nits peak brigtness and the 900e is about 900 nits, so its much brighter.
The c7 has a better perceived brightness than both because of the darker blacks.
The c7 was rated the best gaming tv because of its low input lag, better viewing angles and overall better picture.
I have the C7, its worth it.
The sony 900e is a step down from the c7 and the 850e is a step down from the 900e.
If you can afford a c7 get it.
55 65 or 75 none are too big

Sony XBR75X850E 75-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model)
$2k flat for a $75" LED gaming-responsive 120Hz HDR Smart TV. It's only $1100 for the 65" version. Obviously the great low-end budget attraction is the TCL S405 55" for $400.
