Chimei monitor

"Next we plugged in an Xbox 360 via the component inputs to test its gaming performance, which is certainly the usage the CMV 222H should be best suited to. We played a little bit of FIFA 08 and Sega Rally, with the overriding feeling being that performance was adequate but not outstanding. At its default settings colours were underwhelming, failing to bring environments to life. Bumping up saturation did allay this somewhat, but in reality one ought not to need to do this. However, bearing this in mind, gaming on the CMV 222H wasn't too bad. Issues such as light bleed weren't nearly as evident as in the video testing, while motion was predominantly smooth, taking a very keen eye to spot any obvious ghosting or smearing.
Indeed, this is the abiding impression behind the Chimei CMV 222H. Image quality is mediocre at best, so it's unsuitable for quality intensive tasks such as image editing or watching high definition video. However, for general use and particularly for gaming, the many weaknesses of the display aren't nearly as apparent. Moreover, given the price and connectivity of the CMC 222H, it's actually quite a good option for a gamer who needs something cheap and flexible to use with both a PC and Xbox 360 and even a PS3 or Wii."

Looks like it would be OK for gaming.
