If you want to get the best out of your 3000.00 dollar purchase, get a line conditioner! It will give you better picture quality, protect your tv and then you can sleep better at night. I would also recomend a battery back up! This TV, and most new technologies work off of a lamp, to keep from replacing your lamp every 3 months you will need a back up. Try the Monster UPS 1000 and use it with the Monster 3600 line conditioner that has digital filtering.
I just purchased a Sony KDF-55XS955 55" WEGA LCD Projection HDTV and wanted to know from all you what your opinion is about using a Power strip surge protector to plug into for the new TV and other components and should I buy the one that the dealer offered at 100 $ or would any 10 dollar power strip with built in surge protector work just as well . Thank you in advance. Joe
