HI everyone im new to the AV world. I know computers been working with them for over 10 years so when I hear ppl are using a UPS's for big screen TV's this intrigues me. As everybody know its Tax time and am looking to Buy a 50" DLP or Big Screen I know power condition is a must but never really put much thought in it. We use APC Symmetra PX to power our data centers so I convinced APC makes a great product. But from reading through the posts looks like the opinion is mix between UPS's & Surge Protectors. I guess my first question is.

1. UPS or Surge Protector ?
2. APC makes UPS's that have 4 outlets & battery backup and 4 Surge Protection Outlets with 390 Watts / 650 VA. Would that be enough to power a 230 watts Big Screen ?

3. And how many joules of protection is good with out overkill ?
