The first unit I received was bad and Amazon exchanged it very quickly (within two days) and without any hassles. The second unit I received was bad as well. I contacted Monster and they said they would exchange the second bad unit. They mailed (USPS) me a UPS label to send it back. I sent it to them and about a month later, I received a third unit. It is working great. It didn't cost me anything to exchange the bad units, but waiting over a month was not any fun.

This is a great product for those who have a DLP TV. It is a must have to protect your investment. It has saved me about a half a dozen time so far and has worked flawlessly every time. It is also fairly attractive to have sitting next your your A/V components. The only thing that would be a nice thing to have is a dimmer on the LED's. Might be annoying if lose to your viewing area. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a DLP TV.

300 bucks I paid for this and it lasted me only 2 years and then died. Is it worth it? What's a new bulb worth should the power go out and the bulb wear out faster than usual? Not as much as buying two of these units! I won't buy Monster again.

Review:
I've had my HTUPS500 for 2 years, now and I'm fed up with it and will be getting something else. My biggest complaints are:

1. It doenst keep my components on very long when the power goes out, (like maybe 3 minutes tops with just my DVR turned on).
2. My biggest complaint is that when the power does finally come back on, the HTUPS-500 doesnt automatically turn back on, which means that my DVR doesnt come back on, and I miss TONS of programming, even if the power was only out for 10 minutes. You have to *manually* turn the UPS back on once power is restored.

For the money, I would expect more. I wont be buying any more Monster products. They are WAY over-priced for what you get.

My recommendation: Buy something else.

we just received our second new unit, and like the first it is dead on arrival. i'm embarrased that a supposedly high-end American company has such lousy quality control. i'm looking for something similar now, only made in Japan, where quality seems to be more of a concern.
