[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 145934, member: 67"] Re: Cold Storage Hi Ben- Not sure how much you can extrapolate from this, but I had my LCD televisions and a couple computer monitors in an unheated storage unit for several months (summer and all winter) a couple years ago. It gets cold in Kansas but probably not for the sustained time you get. Didn't notice any problems when I finally got them home and am still using the TVs and one of the monitors without apparent issues. I'd be cautious with projectors or anything that generates the kind of near-instantaneous heat a lamp can, but if you can give them an hour or so of "inside time" I think you're okay. Note that commercial/industrial projectors are routinely used outdoors in all kinds of temperature conditions; the only caveat is that once fired up they are usually left on in low power mode if it's really cold and/or damp.
