I am in the process of moving and need to store my furniture and my precious home theater equipment. What i am nervous about is my plasma tv the temp is starting to really drop in my area and was wondering if I could damage my tv if i leave it in storage for 2 months in 20 to 30 degree weather any one have a real answer for me I appreciate it.

just from what I have heard from retailers. it is not good for a tv to get that cold.
plus condensation and or frost can build up in the internals.

i would try to find a family or friends house to store it at, or get yourself a temp controlled storage unit

I am sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone that would love to use your tv for the 2 months you can't.
