How do I retrieve a monitor's default refresh rate?

If I query for the current mode's refresh rate I may be returned either 0 or 1, both indicating a default refresh rate. But I found no way to retrieve what this default is. I know it can be overridden via the DxDiag interface - still, not even such interface will tell what's the original default.

Can I safely assume a value of 60 Hz? Apparently not. Some people have their monitors set to 59 Hertz when they activate some resolutions.
A manual count of the vertical blank intervals over a period of 1 second isn't always a viable option for me.

Thanks in advance.

I googled around a bit, but no one seems to know a solid way to get the current video mode in DXGI...the closest I found was this StackOverflow question which recommends using EnumDisplaySettings, then trying to find a matching DXGI mode.
