Digital camera reviews of Monster MP HTFS-IW HC In-Wall PowerCenter for Custom Installations
Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 3 Stars
It seems to work alright. The installation instructions were bad. The "upgraded" cord it comes with is a good idea but didn't work on my TV.Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased by the quality of this product. It gives a very clean look to my 52" LCD TV wall mount installation.Digital camera Review: If you need inwall, this is it
Summary: 4 Stars
In general I like the product
I bought this to go behind my new Vizio 55 LED inch I picked up from Sams for 1000.
The Monster supplied cord worked fine (standard VT100 / computer monitor cord used sine the 70's)
Pros:
Tight fit to wall
Nice led displays
Modular wall plate
Cons:
Quite a bit of wire to stuff in a dual gang box in a 6 wire junction
Outlet side wire of the surge box is braided, ideally I would have like 12 gauge solid
Would be nice is surge box had posts rather than pigtails
TV side of the TV power cord is a bit long which defeats the purpose of the close wall mount
One note, I modified the install and omitted the three gang plate and only used the outlet and surge unit. (dual gang)
I did not want to drag the HDMI near the side of the dual gang box.
I bought the dual gang faceplate from HD and the fit was perfect.
Digital camera Review: Looks good
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously I don't know if the surge protection part of this thing works yet, but as far as looks, it's done the trick. It hid all my cords behind my flat panel very nicely and as long as the built in surge does it's job, I'll be more than happy with this purchase. If my TV gets killed in a storm though, I'll make sure to update this review. LOL!Digital camera Review: Looks good, hope it works
Summary: 4 Stars
The Monster MP HTFS-IW HC In Wall Power Center was a logical choice for my new Sharp LCD TV. I mounted the PowerCenter on the wall and used an optional (did not come with) HDMI in-wall dual outlet in place of the provided coax connectors plate.
I had some installation issues that need to be pointed out. The wires for the power center are three stranded and three solid wires. The instructions say to connect the line power in to the solid wires and connect the stranded wires to the duplex outlet with ring terminals. A label on the unit says to connect the other way.
The duplex outlet included is not the Decora style rectangular design as shown, it is a common round duplex outlet. A plastic cover is included to fit over the outlet to make it look like a Decora outlet.
The enclosed offset power cable is nice, but it does not work on my TV. It appears to be made for A/V or computer power connection.
Once the installation is complete, the setup is slick and looks good. The status leds can be switched on/off.
I have my 40" LCDTV plugged into it now and it appears to be working beautifully. I'll know soon enough with the spring storm season upon us.
It is covered by a 2-year warranty, plus up to $250,000 maximum coverage on connected equipment for 2 years.
