LF Recommendation: Surge Protectors

[VirtueTT]

Looking to get one or two surge protectors for a friend.

What is it for?
 - Flat screen TV
 - Wii
 - Cable box/Modem
 - Laptop

Very simple. Don't need anything over the top. I see Wizz has a few but I just need to know what's important in selecting one especially as this is for a place in the curepe/st augustine area, and for those who know people/live/work there, you know there are frequent power issues in that area ie dips, surges, outages etc.

Buy a LINE CONDITIONER/AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator).

They're very cheap (like under $200)

Pricesmart have some Tripplite ones for under $200 too.

I have a ups with built in avr and it works wonderfully in protecting my LCDtv, laptop, HT receiver and modem/router from the random low voltage drops and transformer blowouts common to my area.

I'll look into it thanks

The Energizer ones are cheap and work well. Can't go wrong. You'll find them at pricesmart.
