Surge Protector for flat panel??

Adrian, I dunno what you power is like up in Allen, but down here we get random spikes and quick losses of power all the time. That and the fact I really don't trust a speaker wire company to protect my investment from electrical issues is why I wouldn't buy that product.

All of my surge protectors for home theatre, computers, and home sound system are APC battery backup units. Yes they are big, but they prevent the expensive stuff from turning off in a brownout, which in terms of LCD's and Plasmas is important IMO, and APC has the best warranty should a lightning strike or something else take out the equipment plugged into it.

Plus APC is an electrical company that makes surge protectors and battery backups.
