New monitors on old machines

I'm getting a Tandy 2000 that doesn't have a color monitor (it comes with a VM-1 monochrome). I've read that you could use a third-party (i.e., non-Tandy) color monitor like the old NEC Multi-Sync, but I was wondering if a modern VGA monitor could be used if I made a 9-pin to 15-pin adapter. Thanks for any hints.
