All my electronics are plugged into surge protectors and I installed a whole house surge protector a couple years ago. Appliances are much more vulnerable now and there does not have to be a storm to have a power surge. Check on Amazon.com. For my TV & computer, I have surge protectors that shut down power to everything plugged into them with the touch of a button which is on a extended wire so easily accessible. These protectors even shut down power to electronics at the end of 11 hrs. if the button is not touched to extend the hours. Saves on that phantom electric draw that TV, Cable, etc. use up.
