Protect Your HDTV From Power Surge

So your have just purchased your pride and joy, your new HDTV with your hard earned money.

Before sitting down and enjoying your Blu-Ray movies, be it, a plasma , LCD oe LED HDTV, get a surge protector and protect your television investment.

We definitely recommend shielding your TV investment with some sort of surge protector.

Don’t believe the hype that a better protector will somehow improve video quality, however do choose a model with coaxial inputs and outputs for your cable or antenna.

The main job of a surge protector system is to protect electronic devices from “surges.” So if you’re wondering what a surge protector does, the first question is, “What are surges?” And then, “Why do electronics need to be protected from them?”

A power surge, or transient voltage, is an increase in voltage significantly above the designated level in a flow of electricity. In normal household and office wiring in the United States, the standard voltage is 120 volts. If the voltage rises above 120 volts, there is a problem, and a surge protector helps to prevent that problem from damaging your HDTV.

If the surge or spike is high enough, it can inflict some heavy damage on electronics. The effect is very similar to applying too much water pressure to a hose. If there is too much water pressure, a hose will burst. Approximately the same thing happens when too much electrical pressure runs through a wire — the wire “bursts.” Actually, it heats up like the filament in a light bulb and burns, but it’s the same idea. Even if increased voltage doesn’t immediately break your HDTV, it may put extra strain on the components, wearing them down over time.
