Each of the major manufactures of HOME ELECTRONICS has both operating and storage temperature limits… I assume there is a reason why they would bother to test and publish them…
I can’t say if mobile electronics and circuitry is any different or not or if it has encapsulated parts or maybe warming circuitry to prevent damage from repeated temperature and humidity changes or from sweating…
the fact that someone claims to have not had a problem or had a problem yet isn’t a measure that I would use… who knows if the TV that was replaced 2 years ago wouldn’t still be working if it had been handled correctly as intended…

Here is what the mfg.’s said about it several years ago…
-The storage temperature for these units is -20 to 60 degrees Celsius. Regards LG Canada
- Please be advised that the recommended storage temperature should be between -20 Celsius and +60 Celsius. However,thetelevision cannot be plugged in until the television's internal temperature is 0-40 degrees Celsius. Please ensure that you unplug the television prior to storing it, and that the television is well warmed-up before plugging it in after the storage period.

- Thank you for submitting your inquiry to Samsung.For all 3 different technologies, LCD, DLP or PLASMA, the manufacturer recommends a storage temperature (TV off mode) between -4oF to 113oF (-20oC to 45oC). Same storage temperatures for all. We also recommend that regardless of what type you buy, that you unplug the TV from the wall socket when not in use for a very long period and to let TV warm up by just plugging it for 12 hours before operating the next time. - Samsung Limitless Support
- I'm glad to provide you the information regarding the operating temperature and storage temperature of the Sony TV. The television can be placed in storage with environmental temperatures between -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and 20-90% Relative Humidity (RH). The recommended temperature for proper operation is between 41°F to 96°F. Proper operation outside of this temperature range cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your time. Sony of Canada, Ltd. C6EL
