Re: Surge Protector for TV?
+1 for power conditioners. APC makes a relatively inexpensive model for home theater gear (model H15). It has surge protection, line filtering, and voltage regulation built-in. I’ve had one in my system for well over a year now. The thing is, I can’t comment on how well it works because if it’s working properly it’s essentially invisible. You’ll only notice it if it doesn’t work. So far it’s been completely unnoticeable.
I paid a little over $100 for mine with a special offer I found on one of the deal sites I monitor. I actually bought two and never opened the box on the 2nd one (it was an impulse buy, what can I say). If anyone’s interested I’ll let it go for what I paid for it ($100 plus about $15 shipping). Drop me a line if you’re interested.
