I think this is a great product although a little pricey and could use some revisions. Here is a basic list of my pros and cons -
Pros
1. 11 total outlets, 10 outlets in the back plus extra in front which made testing various machines in my entertainment system very easy.
2. Two USB ports for charging things like a Zune, Camera, etc.
3. Cable, LAN, and phone outlets.
4. Display input voltages with a dimmer.
5. Looks nice in entertainment stand.
Cons
1. One of the USB ports should be in the back so you can leave something like a Zune docking station on top without having the front panel always open.
2. There are outlets right next to the coaxial inputs which makes some bigger adapters unable to fit, should have put them next to the ethernet ports since they are less likely to be used and a little more room for a bigger adapter if in use.
3. The display color is somewhat harsh to look at it. The dimmer helps but when you shut off the front display all the indicator lights shut off except for the clean power on. Would like all indicator lights to stay on and just shut off the voltage display.
The few things I wish were different wouldn't keep me from buying this again but keep it from getting a perfect score. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. It looks great in my stand, has all the outlets I need and the USB ports are great.

Decided on getting a high end surge protector for the SAMSUNG LED TV. LEt me tell you two days after hooking in together we were hit with several tough storms. We lost power several times and the home itself was hit with multiple power spikes. The wife and I looked at one one another every time. "boy I am sure glad we have that surge protector"
WELL WORTH THE few dollars, in order to protect much more expensive equipment.
Don't even think about it.

Ordered before Christmas using standard delivery and received it in 3 days. PowerCenter works fine. no problems at all. Would buy it from this company again. Only negative was that it was not obivious that most electronices were not returnable.

Adding to Monster's 5 year warranty after speaking to customer service today:
1. Yes, they only replace if it's within 5 years from date of purchase. Must have receipt saved for 5 years. My HTS 2000 Power Center crapped out 5 months before the 5 years.
2. IMPORTANT: They said that they are only responsible for the connected equipment for 5 years. After 5 years, if the Power Center doesn't stop a surge from destroying whatever you've connected to it, they are not liable. So that means you have to buy a new Power Center every 5 years to make sure your equipment is protected. The customer service rep confirms this. I had him reluctantly repeat this back to me, and it didn't sound very good. Poor guy. But yes, you must buy a new Power Center every 5 years. So...in conclusion, you must factor this into the cost. I guess if you divide the price into 5, it's not that bad of a deal. Just remember to buy a new one every 5 years!
