This is because and LCD doesn't really have to 'refresh' the pixels since the just 'stay' as they are. With a normal monitor, however, you can notice a big difference betwenn 56, 60, 75 and even 90 Hz. Refresh rates on LCDs are an issue only if you have to display e.g. movies or play games where new graphical information must to be displayed quickly. I work with texts mostly, use 60 Hz on my LCD with 1280x1024 pixel and are very happy with it :-) If the screen flickers then you may enter a *range* (like "60-78.8"). X will hopefully choose the right one. If your manual shows a table with 'fixed' values, you can enter them as follows also: 60, 70.2, 78.8 Also keep in mind that there are *two* kinds of refresh rates to be entered. After all you may also see if your LCD can be fine-tuned. Mine has got a "fine auto tune".
