What non-ancient LCD's have response times that high. Even e-ink/e-paper displays are better than that!

TVs can do a bunch of filtering which adds long latency based on the setting about the type of content (sorry, can't remember the exact term ATM).

That is true, but the worst offenders are about 300ms, and out of the 515 rtings have tested, only 5 have a worst case more than 200ms. A typical 'bad' LCD would be somewhere closer to 50-100ms usually.

First, the oldest TV on their list is from 2020. Second, they didn't seem to test in the other "smoothing" input modes (because why would you if you're looking for low input latency as opposed to an uninformed consumer just using arbitrary settings?)

A CRT's latency starts at ZERO, depending on what's driving it and when the input is received ("racing the beam").
