The grieving process is moving along for my wife.

My son had purchased a 50 some inch plasma TV.

It (and the FIOS hi-def box/dvr) have sat untouched in his bedroom.

My wife announced that she found a 32" lcd for 199, and a 42" lcd for 299.

She has decided to put one of those in Bryce's room, along with getting a standard def FIOS box for that room.

It will, of course, not be used either.

I have said that these are just "things", but of course cannot put myself in her shoes, so just roll with it...

I get the plasma and the hi-def box. I built a room in the basement for Bryce and his friends. It's going either there or in the garage.

Downstairs would be my "man-cave", but the garage would put me ahead of my next door neighbor, as he only has a 42" LCD in HIS garage.

Anyone that has followed some of my "stories" in the past would know just how important it is to me to kick his ass in EVERY category, and that would most definitely include television sets in garages... this is my dream scenario...

I can see the drinkin' and thinkin' conversation in my mind's eye already- It would go something like this:

Me: "That's plasma, bitch"

Ed: "I gotta go."

Me: "Where?"

Ed: "Best Buy, asshole."

So here's my technical question-

What would be your best guess as to what a plasma TV can handle as regards low ambient temps?

I would say worst-case around here is probably around 0 degrees f.

First of all Dave, again, my thoughts to your wife and you for the loss of your son. It must be especially tough around the holidays.


A cursory search shows that Plasma TV's have two considerations in regards to ambient conditions....storage and operating

OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS
Storage Temperature Range -22°–140°F (-30°–60°C)
Storage Humidity Range <90%
Altitude <1,400 m (4,593 ft)
Operating Temperature Range 32°–104°F (0°–40°C)
Operating Humidity Range <80%

Suggest that you get the exact model number of your set and "google" it.

Of course the "operating conditions" should be fine as long as you are in the garage.....plenty of hot air.

Seriously, thank-you for the information and the kind thoughts.

I'm done.

I had my stock certificate professionaly framed, tri-cad matted with green, yellow and white. Took a month. It's perfect.

13-time world championship flag mounted.

Join US Marines ww1 poster mounted

Dark green trim, white top, subtle green background throughout...

My God, it's friggin' beautiful !

Wife says I went over budget. She can kma, the 50" plasma with surround sound is perfecto too. This is one hell of a garage, I'm just sayin' !

(It's even heated, for cripes sakes)

This is in your garage? My garage is filled with lawn stuff and tools. (Along with my 72 SS Chevelle of course.) Mine is heated also.(only in the summer though)

That must be one heck of a garage you have.

I cannot find the STUPID friggin' cable between my STUPID friggin' camera and my STUPID friggin' computer.

Got some advice?







STFU.



Tried everything. Again-- stupid friggin' cable from camera to computer.

Don't E V E N bring up putting the card in the computer. That frustration level may force me to come to your house for some revenge.

I SEARCHED THIS HOUSE. Wife ordered the new one first thing. She knows how I get worked into a FROTH, EARLY.

50 million fucking cables in this fucking house and none of the mother fuckers fit, and the bitch keeps bringing me more that we both know damn well won't fucking fit, what the fuck is wrong with fucking females that make them want to fucking do that?

I'm calming down, she says. When her fucking ordered cable hits my motherfucking house, and if she guessed right (under some duress, this I admit) and the POS cable works...

I have the pics.

It's beautiful ! 😝
