im not sure if this is true but thats i once heard this from the delivery guy for my sony tv
i bought like a 50" sony lcd tv like 3 year ago around x-max time. i live in canada so it was pretty cold the time a got it
i went through about 3 tv exchange because of dead pixel. b/c every time when they delivery the tv they usually plug it in right away to show that is working and they leave.
the last delivery i told the guy like we went throught few tv already then he said you should wait a bit since the cold weather??
Not sure if this is really true
You should always wait for electronics to get to room temperature before powering it up for the first time if it's been exposed to extreme temperatures like we get here in Canada.
What's the typical of electronics again? usually in manuals it says 5 degrees celsius as a minimum storage and operating temperature?
I've received laptops from clients who left them out in their car overnight in minus 10-30 degree weather and had the harddrives fail and other parts fail from the condensation from the sheer cold and from trying to power up the device while still "frozen".
So I would think the same for a TV that's been sitting in a truck in transit for a while.
I don't think I waited when I got my FP241W, but then again I don't think it was freezing outside.
Wow this thread and this monitor is still in high demand I see.
I'm still loving my monitor if anyone's wondering
Still can't get over the quality of this thing, in terms of colour, viewing angle and performance.
I recently picked up Unreal Tournament 3 and wow, no problems at all.
This monitor's the closest to a CRT I've seen so far.
