Yes at home temperature and humidity are controlled. But what I wanted to say is that if I find a TV out in the winter I will never turn on the TV right away because of the difference in temperature (cold outside and the temperature inside my apartment) . Because the risk of components leaping, is high. That's why I said earlier that I would wait at least 2 to 3 days before turning on a TV found on the street in winter ..It's absolutely necessary to let the circuits dry completely. Even the CRT should not be wet. If not, .... BOUM! . It happened to me once because I was too eager to see if the TV was working. Now I'm careful.
