Samsung HDTV: Game Mode vs. PC Mode for input lag?

So I just got a new Samsung UN48J5000 TV for Christmas to replace my old Panasonic that died, and it's a pretty nice TV aside from the input lag. Apparently, switching this TV to Game mode doesn't actually cut down the response time of 39ms; it just alters the image. This is weird to me, because apparently only Samsung does this with their TVs. I know there's the old trick where if you name your HDMI input to "PC', you'll end up with a PC mode that has a little less input lag, but I have no idea how much because I can't find anything about this particular model of TV anywhere online. Not even any of the input lag databases that I've tried have information on it, which really sucks. I found that 39ms statistic from a review on the TV claiming that it's great for gaming (BS because that's around a frame of lag). Does anyone else own this TV or one similar to it? Were you able to reduce the lag even further outside of changing the input to PC mode? I really don't want to have to move my PS4 over to my computer monitor or even buy a new TV just to play fighting games on it.
