Yeah that particular panel is 60 Hz native, game/PC mode disables any processing which increases input lag. Response time is a spec that should be ignored on the modern market, in the gaming market these numbers are marketed in a way that lower is better- which is not true at all. We reached the point where response time can't make your display ghost a few years back. Ghosting is primarily caused by the low refresh rates (60), which is why everything above that was developed. Including some CMR TV features that fake the extra frames to make things appear smoother. It works and is not a gimmick, however. It just looks bad for everything unless it's sports. The extra (sometimes extreme) input lag is 100% unnoticeable because watching a TV show/movie won't need you to press buttons or time inputs like you would in games. I have personally never seen this TV brand/model before, so I can't comment on that.
You're mostly correct, however:
Ghosting is NOT caused by the low refresh rate, it's caused by a high response time (the time for the pixels to change color). There are other ways to minimize such as light strobing. Ghosting has not been completely eliminated either.
High refresh rates were not created to minimize ghosting, but rather to allow smoother motion.
(Oddly you say it's a non-issue now and only seen on 60Hz HDTV's however most HDTV's are 60Hz so that doesn't make sense. And yes, LOWER IS BETTER when it comes to response time so I'm not sure what you mean by "that's not true at all"; the only truth is that there is issue with comparing between HDTV's but if all other things are equal then lower response is better.)
Anyway, it's not worth arguing about. The real question is if the HDTV is good for gaming and my guess is it COULD be based on the specs; my only concern would be input lag so you'd have to find out if there's a gaming mode or not.
