Of these 3, which is best for me? BR700G, BP700UC, BE750G

That's the Back UPS RS LCD 700 master, Back-UPS LS 700, or APC Power Saving Back-UPS ES 750VA.

I have 300W power supply and an LCD monitor on a home computer so I think all should be good, and all are similar priced. I'm leaning toward the LS 700 because I see audible noise at 1m is 0, not 45dBA like the others. How noticable is this difference if I sometimes sleep in the room the computer is in?

And also I'm looking for a clean output of 120V. I'm assuming I'll get that with all of them, but is one of them a little better? (I think my electric coming out of my outlets may be dirty, it was like that years ago when I checked it, and I'm assuming it still is.)

Although I'm leaning toward the LS 700, it seems like it's the oldest out of these models. I'm not sure, but is one of the others better because of newer technology, and more features in it? For a 350W home computer, in your opinion, which would be my best option? And what's the difference between these models?

The BE750G is the cheapest and most "value-oriented" offering. It offers surge protection, reliable battery back-up, and the ability to monitor it via PowerChute, as do the rest of the units you mentioned. It does not have any form of voltage regulation, and has the least amount of front-mounted LEDs for easy monitoring.

The BP700UC is a step up from that, offering better surge protection and the ability to "boost" output voltage if the input is low without going to battery (AVR). This does not have "green" technology. This unit is also 410W rated as opposed to 450W like the other units.

The BR700G is the "best" of the units, since it offers all the abilities of the BP700UC along with the trim AVR ability that lowers output voltage if the input is high. The LCD screen on this model also gives far more up-front data than the other two units.

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. It looks like the BR700G now looks the best to me, and I'll probably get it.
