Eazy2hD HDMI Surge Protector Mini Portable HDMI 1.4 Protector for ESD and Lighting Surge Protection,Support HDCP

Prior reviews I read on similar HDMI-base surge/ESD products noted an impact to picture quality. No such thing with this product on 3 different TVs; picture quality is exactly as it was. As to surge/ESD protection, time will tell on that. I purchased these as my home took a hit through the cable line and while I only lost a cable box other neighbors lost TVs as a result. I wanted to add another layer of protection in addition to surge suppression protection on the power line/outlets in my home.

Despite having a whole house surge protector and individual surge protector power cables we lost a cable modem, Apple TV, Roku, 3 cable boxes and a Samsung 6000 series TV. I researched it on the internet and found that HDMI cables are vulnerable to power surges during lightning storms. Hopefully these surge protectors will prevent another loss of equipment. I also bought surge protectors for the coaxial cable coming into the house for the internet and one for each Cable box. Now each item with a cable or HDMI has a surge protector attached. Some have both. Overkill? Mayb, but I don’t want to buy more equipment again if a few low cost surge protectors will keep them safe. 4 stars, waiting for the next storm for a full test.

You need to check this against the kind of conditions it is supposed to protect your electronics from. No such chance since acquired.

I can only say at this point that the surge protector does not interfere with the picture quality and seems to be transparent between the player and my 4K TV. All of my equipment with HDMI Ports (Projector, TV, A/V Receiver) were recently knocked out by a near direct lightning strike and had to be replaced. Hopefully this will work, but I am hoping it will not have to be tested. I will update my review if I have the misfortune of another strike.

Power surge happened and fried my hdmi ports in my projector even though I have one of these protectors on the only hdmi line connected to it. Also the power cord was plugged into a surge protector. I've lost faith in all of them.

After a nearby lightening strike took out a number of electronics, the cable guy recommended these which are really easy to use. No reduction in picture quality. I also put in a huge surge protector on the main control box as the smaller one I used got melted so hopefully my gear is safer.

This is advertised as a two pack. We only received one. It was wrapped in a small piece of plastic and stapled to cardboard. Not how you would expect to receive a new product.

Previously lost a 60" TV that was taken out by nearby lightning strike. The TV was connected to the AT&T cable box through the HDMI. The AT&T box was fried. I can only assume that the surge traveled from the AT&T box through the HDMI. I replaced the TV and immediately bought this hoping that I might be spared from another loss of a $1200 TV. I will report back if this helps next time.
