Flat Panel TV - Power Outlet Issues

Hidyusbeast

here another issue : the plug should be either a surge protected receptacle or protected by a surge protector somehow. If they have a nice flat panel tv this is cheap insurance. What able any cables such as a hdmi cord or a clean power surge device. There are many types of ways to do things but above all it is probably worthwhile to hire a good electrician.

Typically we see clock receptacles for this purpose but now pass and Seymour has come up with a nice way to address this problem (See link below): sorry cannot post link until I have made 15 post so check out pass and seymour recessed tv box. You can also get a tvss rec.

His original description of a "special" outlet is about using the outlets that are recessed into the wall. Using regular outlet's makes it difficult to plug into especially if the idea is the TV will be covering it.

You can use "conduit" to bring wires up a wall to the height of the plasma but that of course assumes that you like the look and more importantly that the outlet is directly below where the TV will be placed.

Since I focus on the higher end, I almost always place an new outlet vs using conduit track.
