OK, I screwed up -- I got the 1080p not the 1080i. Small detail there ... to the tune of about $1200 difference.

And yes, you will wind up spending much more -- the mounting bracket for the wall was $250, I bought the 4 year protection plan for another $400, then, (and this is where I really think I got snookered) -- the "Panamax Home Theater Power Conditioner". That was another $549. I called some people on that one -- my dad just has your basic surge protector, but my brother has the Monster Box. I bit. I figured I can take it back if I decide it's not worth it. I haven't installed anything yet. It's still in the box.

So what's the opinion here on "power cleaners" or "power conditioners" ?? Will a surge protector do basically the same thing, or is there truly some big advantage to the extra 5 bills I just plunked down?
