smokin5s Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Do you put LCD / LED TV's in them? Anyone have issues with temperature changes? I have an OLD CRT tv in my garage and it's been fine cold or hot, but I've been thinking about replacing it with something newer since that TV is a good 25 years old at least. Anyone have issues with extreme cold weather and the tv sitting in a garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I've had an LED out in my uninsulated garage for years. No issues whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Heat seems fine. Mine is heated in the winter, so I can't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have a little old LCD tv on my front porch. Works fine even after a couple winters! TVs are stout. I wouldnt worry about one in a garage at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 this is good to hear, I've kept this old ass CRT out in the garage because I don't heat the garage all the time, I only turn the heater on when I'm out there and it depends on how much my wife is pissing me off will say how much I end up using the garage in the winter time lol.

90G60 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 My parents were throwing out a broken 72”. So I fixed it and mounted it in the garage. Been there for 2 years with no issue. Partially insolated garaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 TV operating temperature ranges are pretty good. There isn't much in them that could be damaged until it gets above 140. Near zero won't hurt them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 LED's shouldn't have any issues, LCD's might be a little slow to refresh the screen until they warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 LED's shouldn't have any issues, LCD's might be a little slow to refresh the screen until they warm up. Isn't the panel/technology on a LCD/LED the same, it's the the backlight soucre that is different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Get an old plasma, it'll do double duty as a space heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I told my wife this past weekend I wanted to put a TV in the garage on an articulated mount, so we could watch football and hockey games outside on the back patio (our whole backyard is a patio). Thought she thought I was crazy. Last night she asked me if we'd have the new TV in the garage for the Ohio State game in two weeks so we could have people over. I had to stop myself mid-sentence at saying "Well, I'm not sure I'll have the time fo-" -- YES we'll have it in there! This thread is timely. Gonna put our ~2010 LG 42" out the and get a 55" for inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I went ahead and purchased a 32inch TCL smart tv last night. I wanted to go bigger, but this will serve the purpose of what I want and that's to replace that old CRT tube tv that's from 1994 that I was using out there and couldn't even read the text from the cable box.

Trouble Maker Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 We've got (probably the same or similar) TCL as our main TV, it's been great, especially for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I got one of the $200 Specter 55 inch tvs for my shop. I just added an HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my laptop to broadcast races and will also put a Roku on it we have here as well. For the price and use it's perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
