Television storage and cold temperatures

I am about to replace my 4 year old factory provided Legend television and am seeking a brand that will tolerate cold temperatures during storage. My present Legend has suffered what appears to be delamination. The display has a kind of shadow in different parts of the screen.
My RV is stored inside an unheated shed and a temperature of -21 degrees Fahrenheit was experienced last winter.
Years ago when LCD first became popular I read of some RV'ers removing their TV to indoor warm storage in the winter months but am thinking some brand must have engineered a fix by now?

    I remember reading nonsense on the internet, so it had to be true, the liquid inside the Liquid Crystal Displays would freeze :)

    I've not had a problem with storage all the way down to -20F. If the TV was still cold, screen wouldn't react as fast as when it's warm, leading to blurred motion, but that quickly passes.

    I can't definitivley say my TV can withstand your environment. But I have a Samsung that has withstood temps to around 0F this Winter. I also like the Samsung smart TV's as they have options to connect to the internet or a smartphone that others do not. If you are into that sort of thing.
