The real irony is that upscaling 1080p to 4K was a concern for adding extra lag. It seems to be the other way around, tv upscaling is faster than displaying native content!

Input Lag is just ONE tiny aspect for video gaming on a TV, which is one tiny aspect for the overall TV.

Okay, just check which TV the same site named best TV for gaming:

For video gaming currently maybe, although still not ideal. The idea was a future proof tv, hence citing the 4K HDR mode where the lag is pretty high.
On their site that only counts for 8% of the score, 1080p mode is seen as by far the most important.

In that list the Sony X750D comes out at 30.5ms in 4K HDR mode. But true LG OLED has better picture quality for HDR gaming (although not as bright as Samsung) yet they also state Note: The input lag in HDR is inconsistent on both the LG B6 and the E6 and it varies in time. If you care about input lag, you should skip OLED.

They put the Samsung KS8000 beside it as a great alternative, brighter and 21.1ms input lag in game mode at 4K HDR. The B6 review got updated, it is faster on average yet it's not even steady, cycles between 38.8ms - 54.7ms.

I'm going to wait until HDR matures a bit. There is no tv with all the specs I'm looking for, at least not for an affordable price. (Z9D looks nice)
