You can do it with an oscilloscope. Hold the probe close to the high
voltage cable without touching it (inductive coupling) and count the time
between pulses. The inverse of that number is the drive frequency.
You can do the same thing by connecting the probe directly to the horizontal
yoke leads.
Yeah, if you want to smoke the probe.
If what the poster really meant was to determine the acceptable scan range of
a computer monitor, there is no easy guaranteed safe (for the monitor) way.
Specifications rule!
