I can vouch for that. I have a first generation LCD monitor, runs 55Hz. Terrible, and I can see wavy lines all the time if I don't look in the middle of the screen. Funny thing is, my 6-year old CRT, the beast [24 inches, weighs 35 pounds], gets up to 85Hz.
Hertz is one thing to look for when buying monitors. The other thing is dot pitch and max resolution. Nowadays, ideal is 1600x1200, 75-85Hz, dot pitch of less than .25mm.
