APC, the only real name in battery backup 
2008-07-24
I've used APC for years and I couldn't tell you how many brown-outs they've saved my computer from rebooting through. So when it came time for a power conditioner and battery solution for the widescreen LCD TV and home entertainment system, APC was my only choice. Unfortunately, at the time, they had nothing available. This unit was worth the wait.
This thing is a monster. Weighing in at about 50 pounds it is the size of a PC (before they shrank). It was a bit challenging figuring out how to place it but with a 10' power cable I could've strung it across the apartment. It was easy to setup and the menu system is intuitive, and their manual goes through every screen as well (for those that like to RTFM).
What I like most is the load meter, watts being used, and time remaining displays (you can change the default display to any of the possible ones they have easily). There's even a calibrate feature where you can have your normal load on it, run the calibration, and it will switch to battery until there are 3 min remaining. This allows the unit to update itself to give more accurate information and they recommend doing that every 6 months. I'll be trying that later today.
When working in the I.T. field I had the opportunity to try several different UPS brands and none compare to APC. Their support, quality, and reliability have made me a permanent customer of theirs. This unit is well worth the price. There's even a statement in the documentation about NOT needing to turn it off during a lightning storm. I have yet to test that and found it odd to see a company state that. It sure tells you of their confidence in their product, and they guarantee it up to $750,000.
so far so good

Had it for about a month. Setup was easy. Does seem to be sensitive to voltage fluctuations that other APC devices don't see. Over all very happy to have to protect a recent TV purchase.

This ia an amazing product and highly recommend for anyone with a decent investment in audio-visual equiptment. It offers that piece of mind that your expensive LCD/Plasma TV, A/V Receiver, DVD player, Blu-Ray, Player, etc. are all protected from power spikes, surges as well as filtering the power to enhance quality. The battery backup is great in that I don't have to go through all my components to re-configure clock and other settings. What a pain that has been over the years. Plus now I can watch TV even if power is out for a few hours at least.
Had a string of thunderstorms and rain storms over past months and it was reassuring to hear the audible beeps and clicks telling me that the APC was doing its job of catching spikes as well as providing the sporadic battery backup for power outages.
I also looked at the Monster Cable product and a few others, but the APC looks the coolest, easy to configure, and has the name behind it. I have a few of their UPS for my computers and they never let me down!
This is the black one?? 2007-07-13
In the picture are the white version of this UPS but the reference is for the black one, and I want it black. If I buy this one they will send me the black one????
