Customer Review: Lots of room, entertaining displays!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really nice product. Seems to be very well built and it's a Monster product so it's what I would expect. I don't know if it improved my picture quality, but I feel a lot better having my plasma screen protected by it. I also like the fact that it passes all frequencies through the coax connections. With my previous product, I had to bypass the coax portion of it because it filtered out some of the channels.
The voltage and amperage displays are amusing. I'm not convinced of their accuracy. If you're really concerned about either of those, get dedicated measurement equipment, but hey, they're fun to watch if you're bored.
All in all, a good item. A bit on the pricey side - I wouldn't buy one to protect a 13" black and white TV, but if you've got a huge plasma screen with a nice sound system attached, it's a wise investment.
Customer Review: It's worth the $130 just for protection!

To be very honest I'm not that sure there's that much improvement in the overall "Clean Power" aspect. However it was clearly demonstrated when my wife was vacuuming & there was no interference in the video signal. That alone proved to me that there was a diference. However the reason I bought this product is because it is one of only two that I know of in this price range that can take a surge & reset. Of all the power surge protectors I've researched in this price range, this & the MK 1000, also by Monster, are the only two I've found that I know of that do not become useless after one jolt. I have not found any cheaper products that provide protection after a single event. That includes some of the more expensive shelf products from this company & Panamax unless your willing to spend $400 plus. Please correct me if I'm wrong.Customer Review: It works

I recently bought this and it arrived very quickly (2 days). I was surprised since I used the free ground shipping. I hooked it up and it did not amazingly improve my picture (Comcast Digital) but DID improve my audio. I'm used to watching my DVD's with my receiver set to -10db (loud enough to annoy the neighbors). After I hooked up this unit I can't turn it up over -15db. The bad news is after a day or 2, the outlet designated TV/Monitor died. Every other outlet works fine. I contacted Amazon and was impressed on how quick and easy it was to return and get a replacement. I'm hoping it was just a bad unit because I really liked what this unit did for my audio. I'll update once I receive the replacement.

Customer Review: Well worth the price.

I have used the same strip for well over a year now, and This not only allows me to monitor my power usage, it allows me to monitor the electrical grid. I have it hooked up to about a 5000 dollar home theater system and it has been flawless. The sound quality improved and the amp no longer hums with no sound input. I have a newer tv so there is no telling if it would have ever had noise or not, but I can tell you my speakers are shielded well and after multiple power outages, no a surge has hurt anything. this is a wonderful product i recommend to anyone who wants to protect his/her investment.Customer Review: Great for the price

I had been looking for a surge protector/power line conditioner for some time. After upgrading some components, I suffered from some mid-frequency hum in the speakers that I know was related to my cable tv coax and many ac plugs into two weak powerstrips. Well, I can tell you that this item solved my problems. No hum, and the filters I really think make a difference in audio performance. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd buy a high-end power conditioner, but for less than $200, this can't be beat. If you have a decent stereo and/or home theater, you need to get one of these.
