Customer Review: It really does work!
Summary: 4 Stars
First, I can't comment on the HDTV and Satellite issues mentioned by other reviewers so I would check that out before buying. But with that being said this was a great purchase for me. And I highly recommend it.
I have been looking at fuzzy text and faint, slow moving horizontal ghosts on my Sony Trinitron TV for a while now. My Xbox connection is composite, my DVD is S-Video, my Cox cable is...well cable. For the most part I figured the poor visuals were due to the TV being low quality and the connection method. But now I know better! Let me give a brief example...
A few months ago I borrowed the S-video connector for the Xbox so I could see what the quality would look like. Of course the S-video on the Xbox rendered an image that was at least 50% better quality than the composite. That is what I would expect. I gave it back and resolved to get one later.
Last week I got the HTS-1000 and hooked up all my equipment. When I fired up the Xbox (hooked up via composite) the picture quality was about the same as it was when I hooked up the S-video. Even my wife, who thinks I am what too critical about such things, noticed the difference. She told me that she didn't expect to see a difference. She doesn't notice subtle quality in audio and video, but was surprised that she saw such a marked difference.
The cable TV is clearer, the DVD has more vivid colors...some of the improvement is hard to describe other than just saying the picture is soooo much better.
I will say this though, my home is small. The kitchen, with its high power drawing appliances, is close to the living room. All these appliances contribute to the dirty power. You could see less improvement if your home is laid out differently or have newer appliances.
I didn't give it 5 stars because it is bulky. It has plenty of room for power bricks, but it has a high profile. The strip that Monster sells that has a slim profile doesn't have room for bricks. Also, the schema for what devices are switched and what aren't doesn't make sense to me, but it is nice to have 4 outlets that are constant power.
Summary: If you have lines, ghosts, poor color, whatever...try this out it could make a world of difference.
