Is a Tandy CM-5 monitor a good pairing with an IBM PCjr?

[wowbobwow]

As noted in the title, I'm trying to figure out if a Tandy CM-5 CRT display is a good/workable monitor for an IBM PCjr. I found a copy of the CM-5 manual online, but all it says is that it can be used with "compatible systems" but it never says which systems are compatible!

Thanks in advance for any tips,

*Electrically* it'll work fine, a CGA monitor is a CGA monitor. The only wrinkle here is that PCjr's use an oddball Berg connector instead of a standard CGA 9-pin D-plug, so you'll need an adapter cable. (And to be clear, this applies to *any* monitor other than the particular monitor IBM sold specifically for the Jr.)
