LCD TV Warm Up Issues???

[Chello02]

So for christmas i got a 20inch lcd hd tv. It worked great when i first got it. No problems at all. Then it finally got cold, as the Georgia weather doesn't make much sense. I am a college student who lives in an old house that doesn't have central heating upstairs were the TV is and its just running standard out of the wall basic cable.

So... now thats its cold, i turn the TV on and sound comes through fine, its just that it can take the picture 20min or so to appear?!? I didnt know if that sounded like something that could happen to LCD TV's in cold conditions as its probubly around 50 degree's F constantly in my bedroom.

What do you say? Deffective or just bad conditions to have an LCD TV in??

Its my first experiance with anything LCD so i dont really know.

thanks!

Defective. My LCD doesn't do that, and it's been in the 40s before (inside).

thats not right

10 seconds maybe, our 32" LCD has a Sceptre logo which disappears after a few seconds.

20 minutes? Defective.

yep, return it

It only seems to happen on the cable input (regular coax), but all the component imputs come up perfectly fine.


Yeah, mine is a Sceptre also i got from Newegg, so it only has the manufacturers warrenty.

..defective. I know somebody that had one replaced under warranty for exact problem you noted.

Ok, any idea of where i could get some good packing materials to ship it back in? They recommend the original box it came in, but who holds on to that?

Do you think a local computer shop would pack it up for me for a small fee?

..check wit the mfgr. many of em will send you a similar OEM box to ship. Otherwise you can lay it flat on a bunch of blankets and drive it to repair place.
