Actually, most multisync montiors will sync to a number of different scan 
frequencies (corresponding to resolutions) but they won't sync to _any_ 
frequency in that range. Often, for example, capicitors are 
electronically sqitched in and out in the horizontal output stage, 
obviously a given capacitor is either in-circuit or not, So there's a 
limited number of frequencies that stage will correctly work at.
