The reality is... there is no such thing as a "refresh" rate for LCDs since
it does not use scanlines like crt gun. Pixels are just on or off. Your
confusing refresh rate with response time. Totally different animals.

Refresh rate is the rate at which the electronics in the monitor addresses
(updates) the brightness of the pixels on the screen (typically 60 to 75Hz).
For each pixel, an LCD monitor maintains a constant light output from one
addressing cycle to the next (sometimes referred to as 'sample-and-hold'),
so the display has no refresh-dependent flicker.
There should be no need to set a high refresh rate to avoid flicker on an
LCD.
