the refresh rate for CRT can change depending on the resolution you run your monitor at. Although my monitor can go up to 120, I can only do 60 when I am running in 1280x1024. If I went with a smaller resolution I could get a faster refresh rate. THis is because then the monitor would not have to draw as many lines on the screen. But I usually set my monitor to 1024x768 and get a better refresh.
