Title: lcd/led tv
Post by: nysono on February 10, 2012, 11:17:44 AM
I've done quite a bit of research on having lcd/led tv in a unheated camp but was looking for opinions/experiences of the folks on here.  Any comments???  Temps definately get well below freezing, coldest I have seen so far this year is 20F, in camp

I have left my laptop out overnight in 0 degree weather a few times. I wouldn't try to use them until you get your camp warmed up, though. LCD's never looked right when they are close to freezing temp..  There was no permanent damage. Check for ones that are cold rated.

We've left an LCD TV in our cabin ever since it was built. Before that the same LCD TV was in the RV, all the time. Temps have dropped to -20 at times. TV works. We do nothing special other than let it warm with the rest of the things in the cabin when we light the fires.   The mfg should have temps in their specs; storage and operating.

X2 on the let it warm up with everything else and there shouldn't be an issue. I think the only proble, would be turning it on when it is freezing cold without allowing the room to warm up.

Thanks to all for the responses, that is about what all the researching I have done has said, let them warm up before turning on.
