Please look in the owners manual of your tv. Most of the time there are tables in it wich tells you wich resolutions/refresh rates your LCD tv can handle. If you follow those tables most of the time you see that the only good refresh rate is 60hz. Why this is done i don't know, it has something to do with the LCD panel.
