Yes.. the hz rating means almost nothing when it comes to LCD monitors. 60 is pretty much standard for LCD's (except for some rare exceptions, including 3d sets).
Refresh rate is going to be much more important... lower = better. You'll want 8ms or less, although these days except for very low grade monitors, 2ms-5ms is pretty much standard.
Also with LCD's... well they ALWAYS run at their 'native' resolution. The pixels cannot change sizes. If you select a lower resolution, the monitor has to 'blow-up' the picture to fit the screen... either that or draw black borders around it... either way you either get a distorted picture, or you'll be squinting to see the image. Now obviously some monitors do a better job at this than others, but you'll find that you'll be running it at its native resolution 99% of the time (if not all the time).
