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: Well blow me down, the darn thing works
Summary: 5 Stars
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: 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!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
