TV in Europe is 50hz

Things get sped up, slowed down or played back with jitter. It's not great. Older devices (DVD/BD players) used to change framerate automatically. Newer devices (streaming) seem to default to 60hz with an obscure Settings menu to manually change it. Nearly everyone ends up watching the content in the wrong frame rate :-(

So do LCD monitors have a setting for 50Hz refresh? Or how does that work? I've only seen 59/60Hz (and sometimes higher).
TVs, not monitors.
They seem sort of interchangeable? If I stream a EU show is it gonna suck on my laptop?
