Who could s-sss--sss-ing at that temperature:e :r

Unless you are talking about Artic sub-zero conditions it shouldn't effect it. You may want to let the equipment get aclimated to the room temperature before firing it up though.

I have had LEd screens break from freezing, I would assume that LCD would do the same. However.......... Your computer itsself should be "warmed up" as in runn it for a little while before a show, I have had it cause a slow down if not up to operating temps.

Common sense would dictate not using a pc at extremely low temperatures.

Ever hear of condensation?

Water and electricity still don't mix.

I would never allow my screen to get that cold.

i think he means leaving it in the van during the winter when there are no shows to do.

I got that impression, but I would take it inside when it gets that cold. Only bad things can happen if it freezes, or is taken inside a warm place when it is frozen.

why dont you put a small electric heater in there when you know its going to be really cold ?

I take my LCD in the house when it gets cold. Don't take long to do that. I leave every thing else in the truck.
