I don't think refresh rate applies to LCDs in the 'flicker' sense at all.  Refresh is for scanning (crt) displays that have to keep scanning or the phosphor pixels fade out.

LCD pixels are 'ON' or 'OFF' they don't fade out between refreshes.

I believe the new hype on the 120 or 240 Hz refresh on big lcd tvs is all about motion interpolation, not flicker.  Since the source video framerate is still only 24 or 30 Hz.

That's true with CRTs.  I think it may be less important with LCDs.  I
have a SyncMaster 213T at home, and if you use the DVI port you have
no choice but 60 Hz.  I've never noticed any flicker from it.  Most of
the lighting in my apartment is CFLs.
