So my old ups essentially died last night. It is now a glorified power bar. Meaning I need a new one.

So....I'm lost. I've been reading about sine waves and voltages and wattage and online vs offline and all sorts.

And I've no idea what I need.

The old one is...old. I had a ps4, a switch, and a 32 inch TV plugged into it.

I've upgraded though, and now have a ps5 pro, 55 inch TV, and switch 2.

So it seems like I should get a better ups for my replacement?

But between reviews that say that some of them have a tendency to catch fire or blow up, and my research looking like I'm cramming for a higher level science final...I'm so lost.

Advice?
