Indeed. There is going to be fragmentation until HDR or Dolby Vision wins the market, Microsoft has thrown it's support behind HDR, so it should be interesting if it ends up being the next HD DVD from a support perspecive or if it becomes the standard.
But you also don't need HDR to upscale your games.

As for TV's, I would personally be trending towards an LG OLEDD55C6V HDR Or perhaps the Panasonic TX-65DX902B. OLED impressed me in person. I only have an old mid range LG 60LF6300 which I would like to upgrade to 4k+larger size+HDR+OLED.

As a TV salesman who witnesses both of these types of TVs in action all day:

 

1. I would never recommend an LG TV for gaming, or at very least not one of their smart TVs. It'll ruin anything that moves by covering it with artifacts (this is something that extends to OLEDs and I would be glad to point it out). The insane input lag is great, but your eyes aren't going to be able to catch anything under 13ms, anyway. Burn in risk and bad noise algorithms are too big of a price to pay for this (not to mention sacrificing nearly all of your grayscale).

2. Panasonic's TVs this year are just absolute trash. They just don't really hold a candle to Bravias or Samsungs. I was super excited to set them up, and even more disppointed when it looked like hot garbage, even after adjusting the setting to the best of my ability for 30 minutes.

I have an LG Smart TV. Turning off allot of the processing pretty much eliminates the lag, besides peoples perceptions of input lag will differ from person to person, we may be more "aware" of it whilst the next person might never be able to tell the difference.

And I will never own a Samsung TV. I have repaired a few of them in my time, some components are of questionable quality, especially in some of the cheaper and mid-range models where corners have clearly been cut with things like capacitors.

Burn-in is a non issue if you know what you are doing, same held true for Plasma's, heck even CRT.

As for calibration, nothing beats using the proper tools. :)
