Your statement would be true if the monitors did not have a shutdown if they
see the wrong scan rate. Only a very few el-cheapo and old (8 years or
older) monitors do not have immediate shutdown if an incompatible scan rate
is being input.

A bad video card can damage the high voltage sections on a computer
monitor if
the card cannot deliver the video signal at a compatible scan rate. -
