Depending on what you want to protect a simple power strip may be adequate but for my high dollar stereo equipment and TV's I only use a Monster (or equivalent type) of power surge protector. It also will provide you with a more consent stream of power. The cost of these type devices start at a few hundred dollars and go up. You can get a good one for around $300-$400 if you shop around. I am protecting equipment that cost many thousands of dollars and not just an $800 TV. Nothing will help in a direct hit but in FL the power goes out a lot and when it comes back on that is when you can get a surge that can damage your equipment.
