You probably can. If you change the setting it will most likely ask you if you want to keep the new setting. If you don't say yes it will change back to the original settings. Most monitors will display a message about "signal out of range" or something like that if the refresh rate is too high for it.

I have seen some that did not have this check box. If yours doesn't, you can trial and error it, and it should go back in 15 seconds if your screen goes black. If you go to a higher refresh rate and your screen doesn't go black, it won't, er shouldn't affect your monitor.
