Lifetime Warranty

 

Yes, you want to use a UL(Underwriters Laboratory) approved cable. Monster Cable manufactures a full line of UL approved cables you can examine under the "Custom Install" category of the FAQ section.

 

Monster’s unique turbine design allows for maximum contact pressure, contact points and contact mass, all of which are highly important for signal transfer. This design also adds strength and durability. It is often helpful to turn the connector clockwise, to the right, when plugging in or removing the cable.

 

Yes. Monster Cable uses extremely high grade, oxygen-free copper to prevent corrosion and maximize conductivity

 

Multi-Twist construction is a design where the positive and negative conductors within a cable are tightly twisted together causing any external noise or interference to cancel itself out. This design was originally used by Bell Labs during its infancy to run long lengths of cable throughout the country to cancel out noise.

 

Braided copper has been proven to the most effective way to repel RFI(radio frequency interference). Foil shielding is the most effective way to shield against EMI(electro- magnetic interference).

 

We use gold because it doesn’t corrode and looks excellent.

 

This is a dielectric molding that surrounds the conductor inside the jacket to maintain a 75 ohm resistance load within the cable. to keep a perfect 75 ohm load, there must be equal distance between the conductor and outer shield. to do this, we inject thousands of tiny nitrogen bubbles inside the dielectric that provides a walll between the conductor and shield. Maintaining this resistance is paramount for receiving a clear and precise picture.

 

A unit of measurement used in surge protective devices to measure current absorption.

 

These cables are used to hook up cable lines and phone lines through the Monster Cables Coax and Phone line connections for proper surge protection.

 

Audible alarm sounds when the protection circuit has been disabled. The product should be immediately unplugged. Contact your dealer or Monster Cable for service.

 

Yes, there is no harm done to the Power Center if it is left on at all times.

 

No. On the models that contain High Current Filters, we have passed over 21,000 watts of power through to demonstrate its capabilities. For Monster Power Centers that do not have High Current Filters, the fillter becomes saturated for a few Milliseconds but does not impede current flow.

 

Monster FlatScreen Mounts™ save space and enable you to safely and securely mount your LCD or plasma TV virtually anywhere in the house, from the kitchen or home office to the master bedroom—wherever you like to watch most. FlatScreen Mounts also feature innovative adjustment features (extension, tilt, and vertical/horizontal adjustment), providing greater viewing flexibility and enjoyment.

 

Monster has a variety of different mounts for different TV sizes and needs. Only our PerfectView™ FlatScreen Mounts feature “articulating arms,” allowing the user to extend their TV from their wall and adjust it for optimum viewing. For example, the PerfectView 400S features Z-Fold™ Extending Swing Arms and Tri-Hinge™ Construction for 16 inches of extension.

 

Our all-in-one Monster PowerMounts feature two built-in Monster Power® AC outlets, both with Clean Power™ filtering circuitry and SurgeGuard™ protection. They enable you to mount, adjust, protect and enhance the performance of your flatscreen TV without bulky equipment or added installation expense. The power from your AC outlets is often polluted with electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can degrade your flatscreen TV’s performance. Other appliances and electronics in your home often generate this noise and interference. Clean Power circuitry filters out this interference before it can degrade your TV’s picture and sound. SurgeGuard suppresses power fluctuations and voltage spikes on the AC powerline before they can damage your flatscreen TV’s sensitive electronics.

 

Different mounts are made for different flatscreen TV sizes. Your mount must support the screen size/weight of your TV. For example, 10”-to-24” LCD TVs require mounts that can support 40 lbs. of weight. Larger 37-to-60” LCD and plasma TVs typically require mounts that can support 200 lbs. of weight. Also, flatscreen televisions are mountable to different types of surfaces, including wall stud and masonry. Wall-stud mounting means attaching the mount to a wood stud in your wall. Smaller mounts for 10”-to-24” TVs usually require just one wood stud. Larger mounts for 26”-to-37” and 37”-to-60” TVs require two wall studs. Masonry mounting (brick/concrete) requires specialized mounting anchors, as well as special tools and knowledge. Monster recommends hiring a professional installer when mounting to masonry.

 

Yes. Monster FlatScreen Mounts are universal. They are made for specific flatscreen TV sizes, not particular types of flatscreen TVs. As a result, all Monster FlatScreen Mounts support both LCD and plasma displays. Display technology (LCD, plasma) is not really a factor in selecting a flatscreen mount. It is critical, however, to choose the correct FlatScreen mount for your TV size and weight. Installing a large LCD or plasma TV, for example, on an undersized mount is reckless and dangerous. If mounting a 26”-to-37” LCD or Plasma, use a Monster FlatScreen SmartView 200M, SmarView 300M (with Tilting V-Bars) or articulating PerfectView 400M. If mounting a larger 37”-to-60” LCD or plasma, use a SmartView 200L or 300L. In the past, manufactures did make specific mounts for LCD and plasma flatscreen TVs. This is because LCD TVs were generally 10” to 24” in size, while plasmas were larger, ranging in size from 26” to 60”. Today, LCD TVs are available in the same sizes as plasmas, all the

 

Articulating mounts come in different configurations, but all feature two arms for extending the mount and TV from the wall for enhanced viewing. Additionally, most articulating mounts feature independent arm hinges and joints that enhance the mount’s range of motion and adjustment. For example, the PerfectView 400S FlatScreen Mount features Z-Fold Extending Swing Arms and Tri-Hinge Construction, allowing users to swing or pivot the mount 180° left or right at three different joint positions.

 

Tilt/swivel mounts feature a special joint at the mounting plate, enabling the user to tilt their display forward and backward, as well as left and right. Typically, they are designed for 10”-to-24” LCD TVs, mounted to a single wall stud. The SmartView 300S FlatScreen Mount features an All-Directional OmniBall™ adjustment joint, allowing 360° rotation, 20° left/right swivel, and +20/-5° forward/backward tilt.
