The worst VGA monitor ever made - Tandy VGM-225

The monitor that was so bad, it may have led to Tandy's downfall as a computer manufacturer. Built for Tandy by Samsung, the VGM-225 (and almost identical VGM-220) has a very grainy image due to the coarse 0.52 mm dot pitch of its picture tube. It's OK for most games, but not for reading fine text.

Correction: The Secret of Monkey Island was a Lucasfilm game, not a Sierra game.
