If you already have an Audio AC conditioner or filter strip, do the following test: remove the audio equipment temporarily, plug your video equipment into the filter lines (your computer server also goes in a line if your computer goes into the TV like mine).
My video setup plugged into is: UHD 4K Blu-Ray player with a solid-core double-shielded DIY power cable (just that did a lot of colour and colour displacement difference without the filter), 4K TV plugged in, iMac plugged in, each on a separate filter line.
The colours are more realistic, the contrast is improved, probably because less bleed is apparent, the impression of resolution is greater, here again probably from reduced bleed and contrast (the bleed here is because this is an LCD 4K TV so it is inherent).
In my setup with my DIY AC Filter box, it's just like having new video gear - no exaggeration: my girlfriend immediately requisitioned the area to binge watch Downton Abbey on Netflix right after making the same observation.
Now, my DIY AC Filter box, which I made contains chokes, so YMMV depending on how yours is constructed internally.
We can't live without the video setup also being filtered, so now it means I need to build a second AC Filter box...
