I didn't find this monitor on the NEC homepage, but all the other recent monitors have horizontal frequencies from 31 - 81 kHz, so no, they don't work on the Amiga.

Note that "Multisync" is the name of monitors from NEC. It has nothing to do with Amiga and does say nothing about whether it works on the Amiga or not. The general name for such monitors is multiscan. But still this says nothing about Amiga-cappable or not. In fact all modern monitors are multiscan monitors because they support a range of frequencies rather than only one fixed frequency. The problem is that the range does not include the Amiga's output frequency.
