Sorry, SilverJON, I think you muddle the subject rather than clarify it.

All monitors have a fixed refresh rate, determined by the computer settings. This means that the computer is sending new frames to the monitor at a fixed rate (normally 60 Hz for an LCD, 70 Hz or more for a CRT). In analogue TV sets the normal refresh rate is 50 Hz, which makes the picture visibly flickering. High-grade analogue TVs have a 100 Hz rate, making the picture more stable.

It ti true, however, that the LCD monitors have a slower response, allowing for a stable picture at 60 Hz.

As for LCD monitor quality, I would highly recommend the Samsung SyncMaster series. But look out for the Viewing Angle specifications. Some LCD monitors have a rather low viewing angle, which makes it necessary to view the picture from a more or less fixed position.

The early laptop computers were notoriously bad in this respect, changing the screen angle slightly made a huge difference in picture brightness.

A good LCD monitor can have a viewing angle of up to 178x178 degrees. You can then move your view point quite a lot without noticing any change in the picture.

This is not exactly true. All monitors have a refresh rate, most LCDs will have a rate of 60 Hz. The old analogue CRTs needed at leat 70 Hz to appear flicker-free.
