Digital camera reviews of Monster Cable PowerCenter HTS 2000 MKII
Digital camera Review: It works
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
8/18/10 Still. going strong. The 2nd unit has had no problems
Digital camera Review: It's all in the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't, I say CAN'T beat the price compared to the stores around here. So far does all it says it would do. Let you know more after the next thunder and lightning storm. Monster does clean up the signal some. Any little bit helps. Went high end on my purchase but thought it was well worth the investment.Digital camera 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.Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: Love it but...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Monster products but after 1 week of having this power strip the switched outlets (labeled DVD and Television) don't let enough power through to power my tv anymore. It worked fine then one day I came home from work and my tv had no power. I switched to one of the nonswitched outlets and I have power all day long with no issues. I have contacted Monster with no response yet. Other than that it is a Great product. If they warranty the item I will love Monster more.
