To my knowledge, my failure wasn't even due to cold.  It got to where the
color was not right.  I moved it downstairs where it got used sparringly
for probably a couple or three more years before the picture quit working
all together.

I forget what brand it was.  It was a "3D" tv but as there were no
broadcasts that were 3D to watch, that feature never got used.  I didn't
buy it for that reason.
