Where is here?

I've had a look at the specs for this monitor:
http://tinyurl.com/jhn86
and note Horiz. Rate (kHz)   31-81 (Analog)

That's the VGA port specs, not the SCART spec.  SCART is RGB.. not VGA.


but surely the adapter being used to plug in the signal has nothing to
do with what the monitor can support? In which case the specs are not
adequate to determine what the monitor is capable of doing and I'll
need to try one to be sure.....

Given the 910MP model number, would you expect that Samsungs 930MP,
940MP etc models would also be capable of the same?

There is no "horizontal scan" in an LCD monitor, so the spec is just
a firmware limitation in the analog video conversion software.

These "specs" are increasingly unrelated to reality, and often only
a test will reveal the actual limits of a product.

In a CRT monitor, there are very real power and transformer limitations
that affect the maximum and minimum horizontal sweep speeds, but for
a non-CRT, "sweep" is just a concept.  Pixel update rate is more the
issue for digital displays, and clearly there is no minimum!
