Digital camera reviews of Monster Home Series LCD PowerProtect, 2 outlets, White (HS MP AVFL200)
Digital camera Review: Not a Good Fit for WallMount TVs
Summary: 1 Stars
I just got this surge protector from Amazon and returned immediately.
I have a 52inch LCD mounted on wall with a Tilt Wallmount. So there is enough space to put this in...but when I plug the TV power cable into it..there is not enough space for the TV to tilt all the way back in...because the TV is butted against the Plug...If you can live with your wallmounted TV slightly tilted up...then you can have this....I can not ...so I just returned it....I searched for inwall surge protector all over amazon...but none of them have a pivot plugs.....so went to Fry's ...found one from Philips...perfectly fit in the back of my TV...as it has several pivot plugs...it costs me only $20 with 200k warranty..and 2000+ Joules rating...
Digital camera Review: Ok, but not all that pratical
Summary: 5 Stars
Takes up a lot of space off the wall....requireing more set back from the wall.Digital camera Review: One Issue - and it may be deal breaker for some
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this surge protector for my 52-inch LCD that was being mounted to the wall. I installed a new receptacle outlet behind the TV in an area of the TV that would make it easy to plug in (i.e., in an area of the TV with an indentation). I used a standard flat wall mount with the deepest brackets available in the kit (again to make plugging the TV in as easy as possible). My 52-in Sony LCD comes with a standard 3-prong plug (not a flat plug) such that when the TV was plugged in the surge protector the TV was unable to lay vertical b/c the TV butted against the plug/surge protector. I am not sure that any surge protector would solve this problem since they all would have to stick out some distance from the wall. One solution would be to purchase a mount that would provide sufficient rear clearance, but that would make TV stick off of the wall even further reducing the aesthetics of the installation. Just something to consider during your planning stages.
I used the surge for my components and I am sure it works fine - but plan accordingly if you use this as a surge protector behind a wall mounted panel.
Digital camera Review: Perfect for a small LCD set-up
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this with an LCD TV and I have to say it is perfect and does the job pretty well. It also has a small light on it to notify you of the condition. Monster products are somewhat over-priced but I went with it since it was obvious I got a quality product and it looks nice as well.
Useful tips,
Before plugging this in the outlet, make sure you use the plugs to open them up. Otherwise you will end up forcing them while this is plugged in and cause it to short circuit.
Digital camera Review: Small Package
Summary: 5 Stars
This model was less intrusive than the single outlet Belkin MasterCube F9H120-CW 1-Outlet Wall-Mount Surge Protector even though it has two outlets. If appearance is an issue I would stick with this Monster unit.
