QUOTE(radovantz @ Mar 18 2010, 09:47 AM) Of course yes, but we don't have to swith it off if our stuff is plugged with power surge protector Was asking Thread Starter, not you  . Anyway surge protector is next to useless. Any lightning strike, if strong enough, will still fry your equiptment  |

QUOTE(radovantz @ Mar 18 2010, 09:59 AM) Alright, I'll turn it off Actually I don't use any Surge Protector, but I still put my LCD TV on standby 24/7. On top of that it's connected to the conventioal Aerial (I don't have Astro), which acts as a lightning rod. I take my chances because I am lazy  To tell you the truth, last time I used surge protector before, but when lightning strike, the equiptment connected to the surge protector was damaged. The irony was the equiptment not connected to the surge protector in the same wall outlet was perfectly alright  |

QUOTE(radovantz @ Mar 18 2010, 10:46 AM) Now i'm thinking whether the lingtning strikes TV through AC Power plug, or Arial plug.. Lightning strike can either be through both Aerial and AC, just your luck.AC Power line has 2 fuses equipped inside AC plug and inside the TV Unit, one of them will blow due to overloading power input to protect the TV. In this case, repairing cost will not be expensive. In other case, lightning strike through Arial will damage much component inside the TV. If so, can we watch movies in the storm weather with Arial socket unplugged? |

QUOTE(serpentking @ Mar 18 2010, 11:36 AM) I did not do that to my old CRT TV. Right now i just switch off the main switch before going to bed and leave it on standby during the day. Maybe im goin to buy one of those surge protector. If nothing happened to your old TV all these years, chances are your area is not lightning prone area. So it's up to you whether you want to buy surge protector or not. Like previously mentioned, even a surge protector doesn't mean you are safe. |
