LCD in a conservatory
I have had a small CRT TV in the conservatory for many years, fed from the RF2 of my Sky+. It is about 5 years old and given the wider range of temperature and humidity it is exposed to I am pleased that is lasted okay. It is however, 4:3 and I am getting fed up with stretched pictures since the Sky+ is set up for my WS LCD in the living room. I could probably still find a 16:9 CRT but who wants something that size (no comments!).
Is there any reason to believe that an LCD would be any less capable of surviving? The conservatory is normally unheated, but when for example I do switch the heating on in the winter the temperature change is rapid and condensation could certainly occur. |

No don't use a magic eye. It is OTT since I can sit in the conservatory and still control the Sky+. I appreciate it would solve the problem unless someone wanted to watch at the same time in the living room.
I think a widescreen LCD is the way to go. I cannot get past the feeling that it would be more sensitive to the environment, but frankly cannot think of a logical reason why that should be the case. It is probably more the thought that if a 15" CRT goes tits up it is a lot less money down the drain than an LCD. Thanks for the reply Nigel. |
