thanks, but surge protector can only protect against voltage surge, not regulating the voltage. does it means that we need a automatic voltage regulator (avr) as well?

just now i used measuring tape to measure my monitor screen and TV and found out that the diagonal size is smaller than the stated size

say 19" monitor i only get 18"
29" TV only only 27"

any specific reason for that?
*
are these crt? crt's size is specified by its tube size, where the viewable area is a little bit smaller than the physical tube size.

we are concern about the lightning because...lightning is not covered with warranty right?
by the way, in ipoh i surveyed, the best price for panny 80H is RM3880. (tv only) i think thats the best i can get over here, if you guys know any shops in ipoh....pls let me know.
*
lightning strike is covered if u use belkin surge protector, a bit expensive but i think it's worth it. also the product comes with lifetime warranty. i'm thinking to get one as well.

I did take advantage of last week's J Card Day at 1 Utama.  Bought a PV80 and besides the 5% discount, there was the RM450 Jusco vouchers (RM10 voucher for every RM100) plus a bonus RM100 Jusco voucher.  Collectively, RM550 worth of vouchers besides the other free gifts - camera, Nike t-shirt, s-video and HDMI cables - and the zero interest installment plan.  Certainly the best buy (for a PV80) in Malaysia.
