Keep Flat Screen TV in rig over the winter??
I heard that the screens could crack in the cold. Is that true? So I was wondering if I shouldnt take them out of the rig for the winter. What do you do if you live in cold country. Im in NY. Thank...

Question, how many people have actually like RTFM (Read The Fine Manual)? You know the one that came with your TV?
The specs for LCDs vary with type, manufacturer, etc, etc, etc. I've seen storage specs that vary from -60F to -4F.
You know it's just possible that the display screen in your car has a completely different spec then the one in your TV. That the one for your car is designed for really cold temps and the one in your TV is not.
Check your owners manual for the TV, I will bet there is a Operating Temp range and a storage Temp range specified. Along with the note that the spec is for "non-condensing" ie, low moisture.
The one in our rig is specified to be stored to -20F, but operating is +32F.
The last one I bothered to read came with the 32" Toshiba that came with the camper...it was a generic manual for 4 different models (including LED models) that was useless beyond belief. Nothing about storage temps.
