The vertical frequency isn't really comparable to the refresh rate of a CRT at all, as they work differently. With CRTs, the image is refreshed at a certain rate (hence the term refresh rate) because the phosphors will dim almost immediately after an electron hits it.
On the other hand, LCDs (basically) consist of pixels that a back-light shines through, and the pixels only change when they're told to (basically). Generally, the measurement of how quickly the pixels can change from black to white or one color to another color is what's called the response time and is measured in milliseconds. So, I'm not even certain what the vertical frequency on an LCD could refer to, unless it's just the frequency of the fluorescent bulb that's doing the back-lighting (fluorescent bulbs actually just flicker really fast, they're not on continuously, hence why they can be headache inducing, especially if they have a low frequency). My attempts to quickly research the matter have been inconclusive, and I have to work early tomorrow, so I can't spend more time at the moment unfortunately.
Anyway, the important thing is that I can almost guarantee that you don't have to worry about it. If I was being conservative, I'd give a 99% chance that the TV will be compatible with a shitBox 360. Non-conservative estimate, 99.9% chance. The whole frequency/refresh-rate thing should be a non-issue.
Samsung makes pretty damn good LCD TVs too.
