**** no it's not worth the extra $80. I'm using the chimei one right now, bought it back in november when it came out. You're not going to tell the difference between the monitors as this one is pretty awesome. There's no ghosting whatsoever and isn't on anything under 8ms, anyone who tells you so is an ***. I play my 360 on this monitor too and it's awesome. I would pick up the chimei not only bc it's cheaper, but has a slightly wider horizontal viewing angle and I've loved it since the day I bought it.
