Tv in freezing temps?

[Est1878]

Hi, just wondered whether people take their tv out of their van when freezing temperatures are forecast? Thanks.

 

[68c]

Thankyou for adding another worry to my life.

No will be fine down to -40°c or something for storage

Ours lives in the van all year round for the past 5 years-_- Never been a problem.

While your at it you could take out the control panel, battery charger, distribution unit, head unit and anything else with electronics in it.

And probably the very delicate airbag ecu

There a jokey lot these funsters…

A bunch of clowns…

Step away from the airbag ecu…. Don’t even look at it.. don’t even mention it otherwise it cost £150 if you sneeze in its presence

I think that's a NO then

NOPE. Our Cello TV has been left permanently in our motorhome for the last 7 years and still works fine.

A key question in this respect is “Does the TV have an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)” and, if this is the case, does it need to be drained down?

The LCD might get slow if it's really cold. So the image might go blurry. I don't think you're supposed to use them below 0C. But for storage, it's fine and won't do any damage.

Cool is best for electronics
But I’d like to be >15deg C for watching telly

Edit. Min temperature - with my onesie on

What about the dash LCD then. That would mean you couldn't use any modern vehicle below zero.

15° do you live in a fridge? At least 22 for me.

In my brush with electronics, we’ve mostly kept things cool. Usually in expensive AC rooms. And semiconductors have wide operating ranges starting way below 0deg C

Here’s an LCD specific temp range

In most applications, a temperature range of -40oc to +85oc is sufficient

We never watch the TV outside the van when it's freezing ,we prefer to watch it wherecits warm and cozy.

This source, specific to TVs, says don't use below 0C:

LCD Temperature Range. Operating Limits for the Heat & Cold| Orient Display

Learn how different range affects LCDs. Knowing the Temperature Limits of LCD Displays will help you choose the right LCD enclosure for You!

It's kind of irrelevant anyway. You aren't going to be watching TV if it's still below freezing inside the van.

Can I use the Alde heating cos that's got an LED display?
