Old CRT monitors used to work by scanning an electron beam across every pixel in your screen X many times a second, where X is the Hz it was operating at. Newer LCDs don't actually need to do any sort of scanning, and as far as I know they stay at a certain setting as long as they're not told otherwise (and when they are told otherwise, the response time is a measure of how fast they'll be able to change to the new color).
So, yeah, refresh rate is pretty much a nonsense number for LCDs. It's like asking for the miles per gallon you'd get with an all-electric car.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
