Grdpa's 50 Dodge Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 Read once where modern thin TVs should not ever get cold even when moving. So does anyone have a TV in a cold garage, not heated all the time? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 TV in a garage...…..cd player yes...needs no eyes-on to enjoy.....sorry no experience.....when I did have a TV in a small unheated building out back...it was old school style....building now heat and air... Quote

When I was in high school, I used to skip church on Sundays, make myself a sanich and take my portable B&W t.v out to the barn and turn on the "loan ranger" reruns while I worked on (took apart) my truck. Reception wasn't the best but it was more for listening. Sorry, I don't have a t.v. In the shop now, but thanks for the memory ? Quote

So. . Flat screen TV in the alley might what, explode? What would happen if one would through one into a camp fire, or put a bullet hole through it or drop it from a fair height? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 answers, burn, get a bullet hole, get a dent/shattered display...all will cause serious damage to the tv, or what ever it may have fallen onto.... Quote
pflaming Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I'm referring to a 54" flat screen in the alley. We have free electronic devices pickup so it will go this week. Yet can they explode? Edited January 12, 2019 by pflaming Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 even regular TVs did not explode.....they did implode...…….quick ping on the internet will get yu the operation principle and build characteristics.... 1 Quote
Los_Control Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I use a computer and of course monitor in the garage, the thin flat screen monitors would be same as a tv. I brought my screen in as not in the garage so much right now. I have stored flat screen monitors in the shed before, and if you bring them in and let them warm up before you turn them on, they are fine. I also have brought them in and not let them warm up, turn one on and it started to work for about 20 seconds and then it fried. imho, is fine to leave them in the garage, just do not turn them on if near freezing temps.

linus6948 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I`ve had an off-brand 32in Flat Screen TV in my unheated steel shop/barn for three years now with no ill effects whatsoever. It has been subjected to temps of below zero and over 100 degrees and so far no worries. Quote
