Protecting your plasma tv....

[sharmarj]

Hi,
I have a 4 year old Panasonic P50ST30D which has had its display board busted twice in the last three months I wasn't using any stabilizer for the tv since it didn't occur to me that these are all imported panels and not designed to tolerate high voltage fluctuations... primarily also because I haven't had any issue in the first 3.5 years.. The last service engineer suggested a 5-6 minute time-delay stabilizer, which doesn't sound like the most exciting or easily available option.. Do I necessarily need this? Any suggestions what would be the best product for me to protect my dear tv from getting busted a third time
Thanks a lot!

P.S: Also have a PS3 attached to this... and plan to hook up a sound system in near future... Also no inverter/UPS... was lazy to invest since the house already had a power backup system

You can refer these.
V-Guard Voltage Stabilizers for TV, AC, Refridgerators, washing machine and other home appliances

I am using actually a fridge stabilizer for my plasma TV last 8 years and have not got any issues. Its has 3 minutes delay.

May be new TV specific models could be better.

Using Luminous UPS and Belkin surge protector in addition to a stabilizer. Never had any issues.

The UPS being online also should help with voltage fluctuations.

Which models of UPS and stabilizer are you using?
