Customer Review: Perfect for a Home Entertainment System
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite its expensive cost, this bad boy does the job.
PLENTY of sockets for you plug all your peripherals.
The Voltmeter and Ammeter on this little tool is very useful for those of you who care about how much power you are consuming.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to protect their expensive electronic equipment. This does in fact clean up the AC power signal and will protect against every day surges.
It can even clean up the signal from your network and coaxial cables. Although this is standard in most power surge protectors.
This thing has 6 coaxial in/ouputs for 3 sets of coaxial protection.
I've filled up every socket so far and no problems. The plug is the kind that flushes against the wall at an angle so it doesn't in the way of furniture. Very nice design. Power cord is plenty long enough to place it out of sight.
Although expensive, if you got the money, just buy this piece of equipment. It has yet to let me down.
Customer Review: Appears to work fine.

I'd love to say great things about this product, but due to no lightning strikes on my home or frequent brownouts/blackouts it's kinda hard to tell how its working. I am using this strip to power a 1080p 42" LCD TV, XBOX360 w/ HDDVD player, Cable Modem, and router. The picture on my TV is very clean and I see no interference. The only thing is, I am seeing the same results with my 720p 32" LCD TV with a high-end surge protector I purchased from Wal-Mart that's not made my Monster. The difference in price: $100. I can say Monster does use a different kind of surge protection that, in theory, would be alot more beneficial for my devices. And it has an audible warning when the surge protection is no longer good, which most protectors do not have. It also prevents power from moving through the device when the surge protection is worn out, which almost all other surge protectors do not have. I would definitely get another to protect my investment just on its specifications, alone.Customer Review: Well blow me down, the darn thing works

To say I was skeptical would be an understatement, but I was having such bad video interference, I had to try something. I live in a large condominium building and was getting all sorts of lines and hits on my 42 inch plasma, especially at times when others in the building would typically be using their own home entertainment systems (weekday evenings, for example). It got so bad a certain times, that the hits would actually cause the screen to go momentarily black--it was like watching the news in strobe. I knew the interference was from elsewhere in the building because it wasn't nearly as bad at times when building usage was low (say, a weekday afternoon or a sunny Saturday). After installing the PowerCenter and testing the screen display for about a week (to see it at different times), I have to say that I am completely bowled over. The display has never looked so good and it is completely devoid of interference. Great, great product and worth every penny.Customer Review: Great Product

I purchased this product for my new plasma and I'm very happy with it. First off this thing is big, when I opened the box I looked at it and wondered what did I just buy, this thing is not called "PowerCenter" for nothing. It's well built and it'll definitely last longer then any TV you'll own. After the initial shock of the size of the unit. I opened it up and plugged my TV, STB, HTIB, VCR, and all play DVD player in. It has many sockets for additional products and the sockets are nicely labeled too. Before I got the unit I did experience interference on a lot of my TV channels but when I routed it through the unit and it cleaned that all up. I'm very happy with the unit, I was going to return it because of the size but since the HTS1000 doesn't support HDTV I'm keeping it. If you want a well built, solid unit that protects your equipment for up to $250K and provides a better TV feed, then I recommend this product.Customer Review: Serioulsy reconsider buying Monster products

I truly wish I could provide a decent review as I had done a bunch of research before buying and was looking forward to using it, but I never really had a chance to use it. Straight out of the packaging several of the outlets simply didn't work. I had to return it (at my expense). While I noticed several other reviewers had commented on intial purchases not working, I thought it was a fluke. Now I realize Monster must have a massive quality control problem. My neighbor returned a similar Monster product (bought at a big box store after I purchased mine) and he had the same problem. For what you are paying you shouldn't have to gamble at all on whether the unit will work or not.
BTW, please review the product's warranty. It won't be valid if you purchase from a non-authorized seller. While Amazon is an authorized seller, most of their market place sellers are not.
