Is it possible to do this, if so, would it help with screen tearing while gaming? Even Game Mode doesn't eliminate all of it.

Running an LCD in Game mode often means you are running the panel in overdrive, which can result in a loss of image quality. Specifically I cannot say if your TV is dong this or not, but I would bet in Vegas that it sure is.

I also have a hunch the HDMI spec is limiting you to 60hz, that is unless you are using a 3D source on a 3D-TV and then the refresh is 120hz. Regardless of what marketing material may have said about your TV, what you may be experiencing here is a possible limitation of LCD technology itself. Also your source player may not support a refresh above 60hz and if you are using an XBOX OR PS3, then those frame rates are usually capped at 30hz.
