LED TV left out in the cold

I may be wrong but I think an LED screen is actually an LCD screen that is lit by LED lighting. Someone out there probably knows more about that than I do.

I don't think the cold weather will damage it. If you are going to use it in winter, you should probably acclimate it to room temperature overnight (at least) before using it.

My depth finders are stored in an unheated garage, no damage to the screen. My car has an LCD screen, no damage to the screen in winter. Liquid crystal screens don't contain water or materials that will freeze and expand in our winter temperatures.

Having said that, check your operator's manual. If it says not to store it below -40, you'd probably feel better bringing it indoors.

After talking to a beer distributor about warming and chilling beer it really got me thinking. Products are shipped in a hot,cold, or freezing trailer from the plant to a warehouse. Warmed back up then shipped to a distributor in a trailer again to warm back up. Then a lot of times shipped in the cold to the warehouse again. Then off to the warm store that ordered it from the warehouse. Then into a cold truck for home delivery.

Granted this is not quite the same for the beer but this is how it works for lots of other goods.

I leave my LED tv in the camper all winter in cold storage and have an LED in my wheel house and have yet to have a problem with a TV but the car radio in the wheel house doesn't like to work right until it is up to room temp. Go figure.

There shouldn't be a problem leaving it in the cold, but I would allow it to warm up to room temp and not turn it on for a few hours to allow the condensation to evaporate if you plan on using it when it's still cold. Repeating this process may eventually lead to corrosion on the circuit boards but I wouldn't worry if this is done only a time or two.

I would read the owner's manual too before making your final decision but that being said, I leave ours in the camper all winter and don't have a problem with turning it on before it warms up when we get there for our ice fishing trips.

2 seasons so far and heading into a 3rd.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
