Freezing an LCD TV


I am wanting to put a 50 inch lcd tv in my cabin. The problem is that I don't keep the place heated when I am not there in the winter. It's not uncommon to arrive at the cabin and the temperature inside is 20-30 degrees below zero. Will this damage the tv? I would assume it "should" be OK if I make sure it is warmed up before turning it on.
Any opinions???
Thanks!

Some manufacturers provides specs on operating temperature ranges and storage ranges. 20 to 30 below is probably well below what the manufacturer would recommends, but that doesn't mean your LCD will not function (if allowed to warm up). I just can't imagine that extreme low temperatures won't have an effect on longevity and optimal performance.

On a more positive note, you could always sell it as a cryo'd unit.
