Product Description
Like personal computers, high definition video components can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power today. The problem is even worse if you live in an area plagued by lightning or power blackouts. Extremely high voltages can travel through the AC power line, seriously damaging or even destroying your flat screen TV. The Monster HTFS 500 features 2775 joules of Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) protection.

 Performs as advertised August 11, 2008
This item works well and gives me good peace of mind with respect to power surges and unfiltered AC power affecting my plasma display. Installation is simple and using it is trivial, truly plug and play.
The only glitch is that the adhesive for the velcro patches that secure the item to the wall are not strong enough. The optional (but included) wall mounting brackets are actually necessary to keep the item up.
Solidly recommended
 Saved from the Lightning Bolt August 9, 2008
The product review (and others) state that this PowerCenter aids in providing for a better picture by managing the quality of power to any HDTV. I can't refute that as my picture is amazing and have never experienced any problems with the picture due to power fluctuations.
But I am confident that this PowerCenter saved my TV from a close lightning strike as my neighbors HDTV got fried because he did not have it power protected. Based on what you probably spent on your HDTV, for the money for this unit, how can you risk not getting one?

It is hard to tell how much it help improve the picture, but even if it doesn't, it is worth it to me to protect my Sony LCD tv.
It seems well made, it is fairly heavy (given its size), and has two outlets, one for a tv, and one for something else (dvd player in my case). The cord seems to be of good quality too.
I think it would be ideal with three outlets and a voltage display (or some led type indicator - so you know it is doing something).
For the price here, I would most likely buy it again - in part because I know it will last a long time and I hope it would protect the tv in the event of a power surge.

Works great...high definition picture is as good or better than 35mm....and I know my large investment in my LCD HDTV is well protected...well worth the cost.

I guess it is working. I really cannot tell a different, but i am scared to plug my TV into the wall for fear of the VOLTAGE DEMON coming to get me. I like the long cord (8') and it is small enough to be mounted on the wall easily behind my LCD
