I've got several LCD tvs that still all winter in temps down to minus 25F. No problems.

Back in days of wax-paper-wound capacitors and vacuum tubes, components DID go bad in cold storage.

I would NOT try to use one at those temps, i.e. I'd warm them up first. But who the heck lays around and watches TV in the severe cold?

Now adays, most electronics will not work in severe cold, not even telephones or cell phones. Leave your cell phone in a below zero area for awhile and see what happens when you hit the buttons. Gel pads don't work below certain temps.

A few years ago, I did a search trying to find a telephone that would work in a cold barn. Finally I called the phone company and asked them how the heck pay phones work outdoors? The answer? They use 40 year-old technology with actual electric switches in each button instead of gel-switches. They also told me that all the first push button phones worked that same way, years ago. So, I found a pink Princess Phone at a yard sale for $10 and it works great. Looks a little silly in my barn, though.
