I haven't in the three years I've had a flat screen and our temperatures drop to -20 sometimes in January and February. So far, so good.

Our last big screen on the B&S patio (covered, of course) lasted 9 years, temps from 106 down to -6. The answer is no, we don't, but we're in Florida in the winter so it doesn't matter. I still wouldn't.

To my knowledge the ships, trains and trucks that take them from the mfg to the stores are not heated. If you store away from home then you might consider the theft threat for removal.

I believe All flat screens are thermal protected ,check box or instructions.

To me the risk of damage would be greater moving it in/out several times a year & finding a safe place to store it if you don't have the original packaging. Leave it in!

^^^ what he said. These are "Liquid Crystal Display" (LCD) TV's. They will freeze in sub-zero weather and every owner's manual I've seen says to allow the "cold TV" to warm up to room temperature before plugging it in. So, we leave our LED/LCD TV's in the trailer, parked in the pole barn, in -20F temps all winter without problems. If I took them out to "protect them from the cold" I'd have to store them on a shelf in the garage where they'd probably get knocked off the shelf and break when they hit the floor.....
I'd leave them alone and just not power up the trailer until they warm up, next spring.

Like the others, ours stay all winter, but we rarely get below about 15F.
