Hi theater buffs-- I have a question. I recently bought a Sony 65" HD ready CRT rear projection tv. After setting it I realized I was sitting too close. So, I headered off the wall and placed the tv on a platform in my garage and set it so the screen is flush in wall. It turned out awesome- however I am concerned that in the cold weather the lenses will condensate. I do have a heated garage and the tv is enclosed. I also installed a filter and fans to keep dust particles contained. My question is what is the ambient temperature range that a tv(crt)should be operated At??? I currently leave the garage at 60 degrees but i am concerned about damaging set . Any input or thoughts would sure be appreciated. I will take pictures tonight and post them on my site It's pretty cool. Thanks much , Daryl Carlson

If you're worried about condensation, you'll need to pay attention to the dew point in your garage rather than the temperature alone.

i'm sure the manual has operating temperatures, but you don't want it too cold. you probably only need to worry about the winter months depending on where you are

Just a question, but wouldn't you want to make sure that the area that is cut into your garage to hold the TV is insulated? That would take care of your temperature issue and the question the operating temperature of the TV and possible condensation forming.

I would think in the wintertime you would lose alot of heat through that area if it is not insulated. Just my 2 cents.

any pics? seems like an interesting idea.
