HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR MY TV TO BE SURGE PROTECTED?

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION IT ISN'T CRITICAL TO HAVE THE TV SURGE PROTECTED, POWER SURGES ARE PRETTY RARE, AND FOR A TV TO BE DAMAGED

BY A POWER SURGE IS EVEN MORE RARE. IT IS A FACT THAT 99.9% OF ALL SURGE PROTECTORS WILL NEVER BE USED FOR WHAT THEY ARE MADE

FOR, AND THERE IS A LIMIT TO WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A TRANSFORMER NEAR YOUR HOUSE IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING AND IT

MANAGES TO TRAVEL INTO YOUR HOUSE AND THROUGH THE CIRCUIT THAT YOUR TV AND SURGE PROTECTOR ARE ON, IF THE SURGE IS STRONG

ENOUGH, IT WILL ARC RIGHT ACROSS THE FUSE AND BLOW UP YOUR TV ANYWAY.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A SURGE PROTECTOR, JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE THAT COSTS $5 AND ONE THAT COSTS $100,

DON'T LET COMPANIES LIKE "MONSTER" CON YOU.
