    LCD's have a lower maximum refresh rates then their CRT counterparts. But due to the difference in the image projecting techniques the LCD's don't strain your eyes on the same refresh rates CRTs do.
    So, yes, your drivers are probably installed correctly. My laptop screen has a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz and my desktop LCD 75Hz max.
