Product was defective. My TV was unable to control the autoswitched outlets or other devices. My lamp was able to control only the indicator light for the autoswitched outlets, but apparently not the outlets themselves as my TV and XBox were not being turned back on. It took their customer service about 4 days to return my call even though the receptionist initially advised me that they would be in touch "shortly". I give them 1 star for bad quality control and poor customer service, plus 1 star for the possibility that a replacement item would have worked.

The Smart Strip SCG3/049418906 sets up very quickly and needs only minor adjustments to power down peripheral devices. I hooked my computer up to the control outlet and attached my lcd monitor and speakers to the "auto-off" outlets. I shut off my computer and the peripheral devices automatically shut off. I then powered up my computer. My speakers came back on but my lcd monitor did not. I tried everything to get the lcd monitor to turn back on. I unplugged it for a day, plugged it into a different power strip, everything else I could think of. My monitor is dead and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm sure this power strip would be great for powering down speaker, DVD players, surround sound systems, etc. However, I strongly recommend you avoid plugging your lcd monitor or tv into this device. I'm out xxx dollars for a quality lcd monitor and I advice potential customers to avoid risking lcd damage.

Not as promised would not recommend wish I could send it back for a refund does not save a dime
