Need A Good TV For Under $150

My poor old Dell monitor went kaput, so now I'm in the market for something new. I was looking at TVs as the extra inputs would be good for my consoles, cable box, and other things alike. I'm not a stickler for color reproduction and veiwing angles don't have to be huge.

I'm more focused on response time as aparently TVs have slower response time. So what are some good TVs in my price range?

CPU: AMD FX 8320e | Mobo: Gigabyte GA‑78LMT‑USB3 | Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper n520 | RAM: 8Gb @ 1333MHz

 

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 mITX | PSU: Antec HCG 520w | Storage: Sandisk 120GB - WD Red 1TB | Case: Modded IBM A50 sleeper

Yea, TVs have terrible response time. Like unusable. I can't even use my PC on my TV for anything but a video. Even using a mouse or keyboard is hair-pulling slow.

I would really just go for another monitor. Unless there is like a 'PC Gaming TV'.

Sony does make gaming TVs but they are very expensive compared to a monitor.

Is there anyway or any where I can look up response times? Their websites don't say much.

Usually TV manufacturers don't check, or care about response times. My TV is at least 40ms.
