This is the perfect solution for wall-mounted HDTV's, offering superior surge protection as well as two recessed plugs for additional room behind your new set. The new LCD and Plasma TV's are very sensitive to voltage surges; however, if you're mounting the tv on the wall, space is at a premium and the last thing needed is another device between the set and the wall. As a result, many people decide not to try to fit a surge protection device behind the set. You're asking for trouble if you do this. I highly recommend this device as your solution.
Compare the specification on this device with most protectors in your local store: you'll find it has superior technical specs, with the added, and welcome bonus, of eliminating wires, and offering the recessed plugs, for even more room to plug in the TV and another device (like a DVD player). It has indicator lights to confirm the voltage to your set is normal and another light to tell you if you have a problem.
Installation is not difficult, even for a novice. Just make sure you turn off your breaker switch to your outlet before you start! Follow the directions in the package, and you're ready to go. It's more expensive than some other in-wall solutions, but the added features are worth the price. Highly recommended.

The package comes with everything you need to install this in a double-outlet box. The recessed outlets are a great feature. This works great behind a flat screen TV. Do not try to install in a shallow box.

The MIW-POWER-PRO-PFP offers surge protection and clean power management in an elegant package. I chose this for a DIY install of an LED-LCD flat panel in my home after evaluating a number of other popular in-wall power management options including Monster Cable's In-Wall PowerCenter and Power Bridge kits. Low profile was a key attribute for my flat panel and mount selections, and the recessed plugs of this Panamax unit ensure that the A/C plug will not push the panel out farther from the wall. Took my time selecting a location for the plastic work box (not included) and planning a route for a new home run back to a sub panel in my basement. Disconnected power to the sub panel, and then ran new 14/2 Type NM-B Romex cable to a dedicated 15 amp breaker. Once the planning was done, install was smooth and simple. I separately routed all low-voltage signal cables (HDMI, coax and ethernet) through the wall, keeping them separate from the A/C supply (with separate power surge protection as well). Now the flat panel magically floats on the wall and is protected from lightning and other electrical surges. This is a great power management option and the install looks completely professional.

By far the best in-wall surge suppression at a affordable price. This is my second setup I have used in our house. One plasma and the other 3D LED.

This product installed very easily and works just as described. It is excellent for powering a flat panel tv when using a slim mount, since most power plugs won't fit behind the thinner tv mounts out there.

Have not had any surges to test the function of the device, but the electrician said it was high quality and easy to install. I am just passing along his thoughts!

I ended up mounting my tv too far away from my main surge suppressor/line conditioner, and the PF Power Surgre Suppressor was the perfect solution to that problem. It installs easily and provides the protection and conditioning I was looking for.

This power surge suppressor was installed behind my flat panel TV and works perfectly so far. Havn't had an electric surge yet, so I can't tell if it stops a surge, but I would hope it does if it happens.
