Take TV out over winter.
Trying to decide if we should take our TV out over the winter. Who does and doesn't? Thanks

Mine stays in the RV 365. The only way you can get into trouble leaving it in is if you choose to sit out in the RV with no heat turned on and watch TV but don't know anybody who does that. For what it's worth there is no liquid in liquid crystal diodes (LCD televisions). "Liquid" describes it's characteristics not it's properties.
Good luck / Skip
Sitting out in the cold watching would almost certainly be OK for the TV. I won't speculate what it does to the sanity of the couch potato. The screen might not look its best if its very cold (response time tends to go down, and such like).
Trouble can come if you use it while condensation has formed inside, which happens when the surrounding air is warmer than the TV (and has sufficient humidity), hence the wisdom of letting it warm up before using it. Even if not for the electronics, it's hard to make out what's going on when the screen is all fogged up.
But yeah, there's no more need of bringing the TV in for the winter than there is of bringing in the converter or the engine computer or any of the other electronics.
