My experience: Over 25 years of IT experience in enterprise software and hardware. I received this device and was happy to use it as soon as possible. It appears that the HDMI port on the device may be defective (quality assurance issues). The monitor only shows the signal sent by the device *half* the time I turn on the device. In the other half of the cases, nothing is displayed on the monitor even when the device is turned on. I updated the BIOS to the latest version and also tried different known/good HDMI cables as well as different monitors. The problem seems to persist. I have also sent a problem report to Protectli. I understand these things happen; However, everything depends on how quickly Protectli solves the problem. I will update the review as the situation changes.
