Re: Plug-In X-10 Filter Recommendation?

["Jeff Volp" <JeffVolp@xxxxxxx>]

The inexpensive XPPF from X10 should do the job.  While rated 5A (600
watts), it does get warm when pushed that hard.  You can put it between the
wall socket and surge suppressor unless your computer a lot of power.  In
that case, you could filter just the offending LCD TV.
