In Reply to: HDTV Monitor problem - Power surges? posted by Billdaman on October 28, 2002 at 20:41:54:
Always a good idea/investment to plug your high priced components into a surge/line conditioner. Nasty voltage spike/surge does happen all the time around the house/apt wherever we live, not including possible lightning surge/strike from thunderstorms, especially if you live in the Southeastern US states. A good line conditioner also improves pictures as well as sound and there are plenty of brands or models to shop around and most of them do provide/protect at least what we've been talking about. No I'd not return the set just yet until you try this. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. The set is currently pluged into a inexpensive surge protector, and the aspect screen mode function has been fluctuating between cinema and other modes more frequently. (although it hasnt yet done so today) Salesman had promised yesterday to deliver a new set on Saturday, however when pressed for a firm delivery time he backpeddled and required me to have a serviceman come out first. After a lot of fighting he agreed torepalce the set.Do you think a signal conditioner is the answer? I do notice occasional lights dimming when washer or refrig starts. But these TV proplems when they occur are consistant. I will feel bad to return the set if another will end up performing the same.
I agree that good quality surge protector is a must where ever you are. I would go for a panamax or monster cable at the very least.
Can you tell me what the surge supressor ratings are that designate a decent surge protector? Iwould like to shop for one asap!
I don't bother with ratings. If it is less than $50 then it basically a throw away unit. Look for a Panamax or Monster Cable unit. They have a good warranty and if any thing goes wrong, they look after you. I had a Panamax fail & the situation was promptly dealt with. Plus if you have noisy video (e.g., live in a large city), it cleans things up nicely.
