Digital camera reviews of Monster MP HTFS-IW HC In-Wall PowerCenter for Custom Installations
Digital camera Review: Misled...
Summary: 2 Stars
First, I am extremely disappointed to have purchased this item for $155, only for it to reduce in price by almost $50.00 almost 2 weeks later on Amazon! (I hadn't even received/ gotten it out of the box yet when I saw this)-- not sure as to why-- is there something wrong with the technology? Having said this, I was also disappointed with the installation process. According to my electrician, the unit has a low voltage receptacle that doesn't hold the main unit correctly, which after installing the cover plate, is not flush to the wall (it bumps out on the right). Similar to another comment I read, a decorative work box should have been included. In addition, the wiring instructions were in reverse, which makes my installation appear the opposite of the picture provided on the box it was packaged in and in advertisement for this unit. I do not know how well this equipment will perform over the long term, but it is installed on my wall right now, and at least has all the lights are on. I wish I didn't have to, but this is one of the worse reviews I have ever had to write.Digital camera Review: Monster MP HFTS-IW HC In Wall PowerCenter
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a power surge protector that would fit behind my LCD wall mounted television set. There is only about 1.5 inches clearance between the wall and the television set and I didn't want any exposed wires. This device is not available in any stores (Home Depot/ Fry's Electronics/ 2 different electrical supply stores etc) but I found just what I needed on Amazon! It works great. It took about two hours to install but I am a homeowner, not a contractor. Could probably do the 2nd one in 30 minutes now that I know what I am doing.Digital camera Review: Versatile Power & Cable management Perfect behind Hanging TV
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many commentators, I cannot say how well the surge-protection. I have to speculate that it is better than not having the protection. What is great is the combination of surge protection, power monitoring and best of all cable management utilizing standard decora plates.
I was able to remove the third plate on the right (the one with the pass-through & coaxial couplers) and install a 6 keystone plate to customize it to my needs & seal the back wall completely. I installed two hdmi keystones, an ethernet keystone, three component cable keystones (I also ran an optical audio cable just in case, but it is in the wall with the option to swap out a keystone if need be). I picked up the keystone kit fairly inexpensively and it is working out very well. I even recycled the passthrough/coaxial plate that came with this elsewhere in my a/v set-up since it fits in a standard wall plate.
This is one of monster's better values, and assuming the surge protection works as advertised, than it is a great product to keep the back of a hanging television neat & protected.
Digital camera Review: good, but wish it was recessed
Summary: 4 Stars
good from what I can see but wish the power was recessed to hide that more like other products. Its also a little expensive but hope that saves the LCD in cases of surges.Digital camera Review: monster in wall power center
Summary: 4 Stars
Very well designed product. Great idea with one module with nylon fibers to help run, and make cables more attractive coming through wall. Flat receptable plug in for behind t.v. is a great idea, but the other end would not fit in my Panasonic with the bump out on the end. Contacted Monster cable on their web page,and asked them for information if they had any that would fit into my Panasonic, and they did not respond. Over satisfied, but not happy with their customer service not responding.
