What would keep lighting from coming from the cable to the LCD?

Wouldn't having a surge protector that also through-puts the coax prevent that?

I would say you want to stop the surge before it gets to the cable box. If it doesn't get there, it can't get to the TV. Were you running a surge protector between the cable box and your display when you were using Component cable? Its the same concept. Stop it before it hits the first component in the chain.

Yes, the best way is to have surge protectors at the cable input to the cable box and for the power input. I haven't heard of HDMI surge protectors.

You don't need one...plug the cable box and the tv into a power conditioner. Feed the cable input to the power conditioner, the coax out from the conditioner to the cable box....done and protected.
