Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: I have no problems with it and i like how the ports are all labeled and spread out.

Summary: It works, I guess.
Comment: Replaced my ancient surge protector with this power strip that acts not only as a surge protector, but power conditioner. Does it really work? I have no idea. My municipal utility has always delivered high quality power, so I have no idea if the power conditioning is adding any value. Just a leap of faith on my part. I can't notice any difference in my picture quality. I figure it can't hurt and can only help.
I do like the ergonomic features. Certainly color coding and labeling of which plug is for what piece of equipment is great! No more searching for the right plug. I also like the fact that they provided 2 widely spaced plugs so wall-warts can fit. Those design features are certainly worth a premium over your average power strip.

Summary: I Guess That it Works
Comment: This surge protector was a "throw in" from the dealer where I recently bought my HDTV. Would I have actually bought it otherwise? Probably not.
Sure, it's specs are impressive and it seems to be built well. I also like the fact that the outlets are spaced widely enough to plug in a wallwort power source or two.
The "problem" with stuff like this is that, unless you have some way to test it, there's no way to tell if it's providing a cleaner throughput than just plugging your gear into a wall outlet.
Now I certainly don't recommend not using a surge protector on expensive electronics. I have them on my main HT system, my bedroom HDTV and DVD player and my computer gear. It's certainly cheap insurance.
Monster has been around for years and I've used some of their cables. I've often asked myself whether or not their extra cost is worth it. All I can answer is that Monster products provide me with a sense of security (falsely or otherwise) so I guess the peace of mind makes the $50 item worth more than the $10 item.

Summary: the difference is visable
Comment: being the "techno-goober" that i am, i can tell a difference between this and the power-strip that i used before.
this cleans the power that arrives at your devices.
i used to have "flubs" in power going to my devices causing them to flicker, or sound to go "wonkey".
i currently have plugged into this:
my 32" HDTV, Digital Cable Box (with HD out) DVD/Surround Sound and my x-box.
i've been using this for about a month now and i can tell a clear difference. a recommended product for anyone with expensive equipment that you want to keep in full working order.

Summary: Who knows exactly how good it is?
Comment: I haven't placed a scope on the input or output therefore, I don't know how good job of filtering and protection it provides. All components connected to it perform well. I was told by my cable co. not to put the cable or phone line through it because when the cable box is updated every few days that it will not come through this unit. Therefore, I don't run my cable conection through it. It is a very user friendly and attractive unit.
I'm well pleased with the price from [...].
