Remember that an LCD changes state in response to a voltage through it, it is not like a phosphor that is hit by a scanned beam then decays at a set rate. Each LCD pixel on a LCD panel basically as a complete driver transister devoted to it, it is not like a picture tube that is beam-scanned. There is no real 'refresh' rate of an LCD panel. The only thing that is necessary is that the output of your video card is running at a clock rate that is understandable to the computer in the LCD display that is receiving the signal. Just pick the maximum sync rates available, if it is too high the LCD display will ignore it and nothing will display on screen, you can then try again with a lower value.
