The date entry and time range selection controls, as well as most displayed or printed dates and times, follow the settings you specify in your computer's regional settings. So if, for example, you set your PC to "English (UK)" you will get dd/mm/yyyy format dates instead of the US standard mm/dd/yyyy. If you use "customize" to change date and time formats, am/pm indicators, and separators, those changes will be reflected in Media Monitors. The Hours Range pane top scale changes from 12M-12M to 0-24 depending on the settings. Note that other regional settings are NOT used, such as the position of commas in formatted numbers.
