It's a fixed frequency monitor, most probably an OEM from Sony.
A friend of mine connected a HP fixed frequency monitor to his PC, you
can read his hints at:
http://historia.et.tudelft.nl/~marcj/fixed_freq/
You probably don't have to solder within the monitor (yours seems to
be able to use combined sync), but there is quite a lot of information
on that page that can be useful for fixed frequency monitors.
I don't know what video card you use, but I have very good experiences
with a Matrox Millenium II because it can do funny things like
sync-on-green and combined sync. Don't know about the newer Matrox
cards, but I assume they still have those features.
