A balcony or a loggia in an apartment is a good way to expand the area of a living space. Many warm it and combine with the room. Someone uses it as a place to relax or dry clothes. And some make the balcony a place to store things. And after some time everything begins to be stored on it: toys, skis, various sports equipment, cans with canned goods and, of course, household appliances. A large number of apartment owners believe that household appliances stored on the balcony are not in danger, especially if the balcony is glazed, it will not be in the cold.
At what temperature can I store the LCD TV
Old picture tubes TV receivers did not tolerate temperature changes, like the first liquid crystal monitors. During long-term storage at sub-zero temperatures, they began to lose the clarity and brightness of the transmitted image.
Modern TV models are quite frost-resistant when stored and transported at low temperatures.
IMPORTANT. Before leaving the TV on a balcony or other unheated room, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions attached to it.
However, as a rule, the instructions indicate only the temperature limits at which the operation of TV receivers is allowed. Usually, the lower limits at which TV receivers are allowed to work are from 0 to minus 5 degrees.
Few manufacturers indicate all temperature conditions and humidity.
CRT monitors:
- Temperature - 5 ° C ~ + 40 ° C (operation), -20 ° C ~ + 60 ° C (storage).
- Humidity - 10% ~ 80% (operation), 10% ~ 90% (storage).
LCD monitors:
- Temperature - 5 ° C ~ + 35 ° C (operation), -10 ° C ~ + 50 ° C (storage).
- Humidity - 10% ~ 85% (operation), 15% ~ 85% (storage).
PDP monitors
- Temperature - 5 ° C ~ + 35 ° C (operation), -15 ° C ~ + 60 ° C (storage).
- Humidity - 20% ~ 80% (operation), 20% ~ 90% (storage).
As can be seen from the list, storage at sub-zero temperatures is allowed. However, if the temperature is much lower than indicated, then for a long time it is advisable not to leave the TVs. Usually, the reason for the failure of the equipment is not the minus temperature, but the dampness and possible formation of condensate. Therefore, if there is no way out and the TV receiver still needs to be left on the balcony or cottage, the TV receiver must be protected from possible moisture accumulation on the internal parts.
