Hey guys,
I'm sure this thread could go into another section of the forums but when it comes down to it I think the best and brightest scan this section the most. So I've come here with a slightly off-topic post.
I've recently moved and on a few occasions I've noticed that the lights have been dimming and then coming back to full brightness. I'm not concerned about fixing the how/why that happens but am curious whether I should be concerned about the voltage drops effecting my computer. The dips don't happen often or for very long but should I consider purchasing a USP? Would that be the correct protection? I already have a good surge protector but I'm unsure about damage coming from under-volting things.
And on a related note. I have a HDTV being delivered soon, should I also get a USP for it to protect it from voltage dips? Will it matter?
If the answer to either of my worries is yes... what should I be looking for in a USP? Having never purchased one, I'm stuck looking at newegg reviews that I'm not sure really mean anything.
Thanks!
