I am getting ready to update my living room TV and wanted to dump the ugly obligatory surge protector strip and get one of the Leviton Decora style receptacles.
I was wondering number one just how much it truly protects my electronics and number two, if it works like a GFCI and I can hook some other outlets downstream and still be protected. It would be a 2 gang box, not something 6 feet away.
From what it sounds like, it would protect some, but not being directly plugged in, not quite as much.
Wondering if the experts would be so kind to direct me. I know I should get something much better, like a whole house one. I'm just trying this one first.
This is the one I'm thinking of getting.
