Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I am pondering getting a LCD or plasma TV to replace the current older type TV. One of the things I hear is that these new TVs are sensitive to AC power quality. Mine is pretty old. I do have surge strips which protect from spikes but I have a 'really' old house (1927) which still has knob & tube wiring and so the electrical current is not grounded and the supplier does have brown outs in summer months. Some day I may get the wiring updated but it has worked well all these years, running refrigerators, TVs and computers and everything else al these years. Should I give up on the new TVs, is there a line conditioner that will work with two prong outlets or just get on with it and expect nothing worse will happen with the new TVs than all the other electrical/electronic components that have run in the past?
