First here is the problem,

I have a Mitsubishi WD65831 TV. The other day I had some kind of power surge in the house. It was one of two things that caused it.

Either it was a fan in another room, on a completely different circuit, blowing up, or a power surge coming to the whole house.
Anyway, what happened was that for a second (and yes, it was only for a second or two) everything in the home lost power and then it came back.

After it came back I had a fan that was blown out and a TV that would no longer turn on. I don't know if the fan blew up and caused a power problem at the house or vice-a-versa. That's not the issue right now.

The fan I don't really care about, but the TV had either blown a bulb or had something else wrong with it.

I got a new bulb and it didn't fix the problem so I had the Service Center pick it up and repair it.

My question is, sorry to make you wade through all of this first, is would a good Monster Power Conditioer have helped in my situation? I don't want to have problems after the TV goes out of warranty.

Monster Power products for their conditioning feature probably would not have helped here. Conditioning helps clean the line of interference that can degrade performance. A Monster Power product may have helped because they also have fantastic power protection capabilities as well.  It really depends on what happened with the TV.

If you really want to make sure power will never be interrupted, you could always look at Monster's Home Theater HT UPS 500. It'll keep the power (meaning the fan) running on battery if the power goes out, and was created for things just like this.

Cool, thanks. Will check it - after the warranty expires. Foot in mouth
