Power conditioners .... improve VIDEO?


I heard recently that certain power conditioners can actually improve video in home theater. I have a JVC projector, Toshiba HD DVD, Verizon FIOS and Meridian G68 AV processor.

Anyone have personal experience with this?

Thanks

Isolation devices definitely improves the picture. I use 3 separate Topaz isloation transformers for the processor, amp and projector/DVD. After the projector-DVD transformer, the PJ and DVD are further separated from each other by 2 PS Audio Ultimate Outlets with one PS Audio Noise Harvester in each of the 2 Ultimate Outlets.

Each time I added another layer of isolation between the DVD and Projector the picture improved and I had to change the the Projector's settings. There probably a one box solution that does this.
ABSOLUTELY YES, as much or more then audio, imho. That is the thing I noticed most once I got a good Power conditioner. Even Better, after the conditioner, if your display has old lamp cord cable, replace it with cord upgrae. I have opened several TVs to install IEC and could tell the TVs were made fore iec and downgraded for cheap cord (often cut out is not there). If you don't want to open TV, I use a $5 adapter (I get from dedicated audio) that easily splices into old cord (no solder, a 10 minute surgery) and it adds UEC external from TV which is safer in terms of warrantee (I can't be sure on that). I promise that will give added improvement with a modest ($200) aftermarket cord. The 2 combined are amazing upgrade.

My old Tice Power Block gives me deeper colors, blacker blacks and more of a 3D image.
Please tell me more about shielded power cords. Because my wall-mounted plasma TV is located too far from my PS Audio line conditioner, I must use an extension cord between the conditioner and the TV’s stock power cord. Currently, I am using a heavy-duty 12-guage grounded “Home Depot quality” extension cord. Regarding the better video image (the topic of this post), is there a preferred/recommended extension cord that will outperform my current run-of-the-mill cords? Also, what about the stock power cord provided with the TV?

Thanks,

I have an early version of HD plasma, Viewsonic 425. The picture was never look good on HD (component inputs) for a few years until recently, when it is plugged in a Monster Power Bar 2000 MkII. The display is much improved with the conditioner. The picture can rival newer models with clearness and color correctness. In fact, I like the color of this Viewsonic more than many saturated color LCD/Plasma of my friends who have just got the LGs and Samsungs.

So I won't go without the power conditioner for the plasma.
