Is "Simulated Sine Wave" bad? For a TV? No.
The comment that it is "bad for TV and entertainment" is mostly outdated fear-mongering. Modern TVs, PlayStations, and Apple TVs use "switching power supplies" that handle simulated sine waves just fine. You might hear a faint "buzz" from a cheap speaker or a fan motor while it's running on battery, but it won't damage your TV.
The Real Risk (Gaming PCs): The only time "Simulated Sine Wave" is genuinely bad is for high-end Gaming PCs with "Active PFC" power supplies.
Some aggressive Active PFC power supplies will detect the "simulated" wave as "dirty power" and instantly shut off your PC to protect it, defeating the purpose of the UPS.
If your PC is just for work/browsing, this unit is totally fine.

A significant need for me with a UPS is the ability to restart itself after a power failure & battery depletion, which no one could answer me on this device. Today I learned that it does NOT auto restart after power depletion. We had a multi hour long brownout today, during which the UPS did perform flawlessly, for the duration of it's capacity, keeping my application alive for a nice long time. It did perform as intended and took over power supply when the input voltage dropped below a certain threshold (settable in the software). However, after the full line voltage came back and the battery was depleted & had shut the unit off, it did not restart. I had to manually press the button to restart it. This is a failure to me as I need the auto restart feature. My APC unit elsewhere did everything as it should have done & auto restarted itself, so as a consequence, I am ordering a new APC unit right after I type this, to replace this Amazon UPS.

The answer, according to this review [amazon.com], is no.
