UPS for LCD 46" TV?

[ericlp]

I was wondering... You guys use cheap UPS for an LCD TV? I don't think it takes that much power as the power ratings were something like 18 bucks a year. It's not as efficient as the LED TV that only suck down 10 bucks a year.

So what do you guys use/recommend? We got a few power bumps as we are on thermal steam generation and the transfer switch has tripped a few times ... when that happens it's not very clean power. Rather nasty. Lucky I wasn't using my tv at that time.

Power device Power supply - Internal
Power device nominal voltage AC 120/230 V
Power consumption operational 230.0 Watt
Power consumption stand by / sleep 1.0 Watt

I think I bought a 700VA UPS for my DLP. I'm sure 350VA is plenty...probably overkill.

Typical ~$100 1000va UPS should do. That's 600w. TV probably pulls around 100w or so, but that's just a wild guess they might be lower. Check the back.

yeah 230 watts sounds kind of high. I got #'s off the internet. I'm not too concerned as I don't run the tv 100% touch mode... Maybe 50% brightness. I think I set it even lower than normal (energy star) recommends.

Anyway... Thinking about getting this UPS from Amazon for 75 bucks.

Even if my TV did use 220 watts that would run for a good 20 minutes +.

Thanks for the replys.

Yeah that UPS should do the trick.

I dont use UPS for my A/V stuff as I have seen UPS's blow shit up. I do use line conditioner and surpressors.
