Surge Protector for flat panel??

[aich75013]

One more idea.
lifetime $100,000 connected equipment warranty

I'm just trying to keep everything behind the TV. Both of these TV's are in bedrooms and only have a Blu-Ray player attached to it (as well as OTA TV.)
Panamax

I'm considering the other options for my DLP TV which has all of the other AV Equipment attached to it.

I'd be perfectly happy with that, Adrian.
I use surge protector plug bars, but I don't have space issues like you.
I have tons of electronic equipment and here in the woods the power does all kinds of goofy stuff. Haven't fried anything yet, knock on wood.
When I was in Troutville about five years ago, we'd have a community parade if a day went by when the power didn't go out.
I think it's another area where outfits profit on consumer fear. It doesn't cost a lot to protect your devices.

Edit:
That was really good stuff up there by westom. I kinda blew by it cause my attention span is really challenged.

The previous post asked "How does its hundreds of joules absorb surges that are hundreds of thousands of joules?" That power bar sits on a rug, behind furniture, or on a desktop covered in paper? View these scary pictures of what sometimes happens when a destructive surge occurs:

In one picture, all protector components were removed. And the protector light still said it was good. In another, a fire marshal describes why the threat exists.

Informed homeowners earth only one 'whole house' protector - because even plug-in protectors need that protection.

I live in the lightning capital of the world, Central Florida, and use Monster surge protectors and never had a problem.

On the tv's I use the one that has a signal boost.
