Looking for televisions now eh?
As far as I know anything over 100Hz is going to be pretty modern for a LCD. I've seen some LCD Panasonics (I think they were Panasonic anyway) that were 200Hz. This frequency rating is the rate at which the picture refreshes - just like your laptop / computer screen (right click on your computer's wall paper and you'll probably see a preferences option that might let you see what your screen's refresh rate is). So in real terms this is going to translate into how flickery your screen is going to be for fast moving pictures. The higher the refresh rate the better the picture will be.
But before you get to your questions I guess you need to look up the difference between LCD and plasma - if you don't already know. Plasma screens have always had higher refresh rates than LCD but they used to have a higher power consumption and shorter lives. I don't know if that is still true.
Have a look at

For a start to understanding resolution and screen ratios etc etc etc
