how can i find out which refresh rates my tv supports? shouldn't every tv be able to use 24hz? it's an "orion" hd-ready tv with a max resolution of 1366x768 (720p/1080i max)

From wikipedia (article "HDTV blur"):

My new 40" "Full HD" has 1080p and 24Hz....but "HD Ready" TVs might even so provide 24Hz-playback as the above mentioned TH-50PX8 does. But it only supports it with an input signal of 1920x1080, not at 1280x720 (which it then scales down or up respectively to 1366x768).

There is a good chance that you'll be able to create a custom resolution with 1366x768 pixels at 24, 48 or 72Hz. VGA input tends to be far more "open" in accepting non standard timings. You'll have to experiment to find the right values (or you can try to use Powerstrip that has an automated function to find all the different timings your screen could/should accept).
