Locality's got nothing to do with it: any monitor can have a refresh rate unrelated to AC frequency. TFTs don't use AC, and CRTs have circuitry to change AC frequency to the desired.
Edit: Anyway, it should be easy to automatically detect 50Hz from 60Hz. In fact, I could design a basic circuit to do that right now if you liked.
