I've got everything TV-related plugged into anti-surge extension leads. My desktop isn't - don't really care about this going flash bang as it's about 4 or 5yrs old and could do with replacing.
No. I don't bother with either. TV supplies are double insulated, i.e. no earth so not affected by lightning strikes. My PC is fed via an anti-surge socket to keep mains spikes and lightning from damaging it.
Yes but you could also used one of these to trip in
Is is an old version but if your having a lot of lightning hits affecting your computer then an anti surge backup is worth getting. This unit kicks in so you still have power to shut down safely

I agree with that.
Most of the stuff I deal with is 400Vrms and upwards. I can't recall transient significant voltages.
