TV Mods and Cold Weather

[RKassl]

Over the weekend I removed both OEM televisions from the Monty. The dining room TV weighed in at 80 lbs and the bedroom was 36 lbs. I know this because I had to pay 28 cents per pound for recycling/disposal. I replaced them both with Visio 26" flat panels. I knew that the entertainment center would need some modifications so I went to the dealer and he had wood trim that matched ours exactly. It came out really nice. On our 2955 the bedroom TV swings out, so after I removed the OEM, I put 3/4" plywood in the existing space and hug the new flat panel on it. No more digital converter boxes and a lot less weight.

Now for my question. Is it true that LCD's can freeze in cold temperatures? Right now we park the Monty on the pad next to our home during the winter and here in Northern Wisconsin it can hit
-20F. I made the installation easy to remove if I have too. Please no comments about going South for the Winter!

Thanks
