First, I apologize if this is in the wrong category or if this question has been asked before. I did not come across any similar posts that answer my question.
I recently purchased a new monitor (2k, 144hz, LED) which is quite a significant upgrade from my previous (1080P, 60hz, LCD) which is pretty old. My system is pretty demanding but I had no issues with its backup for both the monitor and system ( I live in an area with lots of power fluctuations/ outages).
With my new monitor, when I get an outage my system shuts down because the UPS is facing too much strain ( continuous beep and immediate shutdown). It’s worth adding that if I’m not playing games the UPS can last a couple of seconds longer. I’m not willing to invest in a bigger capacity UPS at this point. I’m considering plugging my monitor to the third outlet on the UPS which is the bypass outlet- it mentions no battery backup.
My main concern is does the bypass outlet still provide protection against power fluctuations? I don’t want my monitor to get damaged.
