Can a 50Hz HDTV display NTSC dvd's in colour?

I'm looking into buying a new tv, and i've decided to spend a bit more and get a nice new HDTV set. However the ones i can buy at the moment all say they are 50hz and make no mention of NTSC compatibility (i'm in the uk). I know nothing about all this, and a solid day of googling hasn't turned up anything helpful,
so my question is...
is it even possible to display an NTSC signal on a 50hz lcd? I know my old crt box was 50hz and displayed NTSC stuff in black and white, so would that happen the same or are lcd's different in some way? almost all my dvds are ntsc region 1 so i need the tv to display them properly.
please excuse my ignorance... it's an area i've never payed the slightest attention to.

I'm pretty sure most will easily cope with 60hz...
this is the one i'm looking at at the moment, and it says - "Frequency: 50 Hertz"..... your question is exactly what i'm asking
Apparently yes.
I mean I'd be staggered if it didn't. Absolutely amazed and confused. I mean most games on consoles need a 60hz tv anyway. My old Sony CRT supports it fine!
