If it's true CGA in computer speak you'll be very upset... Montiors followed this progression over time:

MDA (Monochrome Display Adaptor)
CGA (Colour Graphics Adaptor): 320x200x4
MCGA (Multi-Colour Graphics Array): 320x200x256
EGA (Enhanced Graphics Adaptor): 640x480x256
VGA (Video Graphics Array): 640x480x256
SVGA (Super VGA): 800x600x256
and beyond ( XGA, EVGA, etc )

As you can see, CGA is quite removed from today's technology and you're likely to have a bitch of a time interfacing that monitor with Mame...

Of course it does say CGA resolution so maybe it's only 320x200 but has more than a 4 color depth... if that's the case at least you'll get most of your games working...
