Preventing TV Damage

What does everyone use for surge control for all of their own old TVs. Open to suggestions. Wouldn't this prevent undue wear not only to caps, but to all tubes- including CRT?? Do modern surge protectors power strips just regulate surge current when the set is first turned on??? I'm going to use a variac whenever turning my older sets on as a precaution. Gradually adjusting voltage to 100% over several minutes. I know people use these to wake up TVs after a long hibernation------, good idea to use all the time????
