hi folks,

i recently hooked up a Mitz 73734 73" DLP and love the heck out of it.

it is displacing my tried and true, 6 year old, Pioneer 64" CRT HD RPTV.

I have had the Pioneer out in my garage for a couple of weeks. The folks we are giving the set to are coming over tomorrow night to pick it up.

here in Central Ohio, it's been in the low 40's for a high today and the same tomorrow.

question: is it important to let the set climatize to their living room for several hours before turning it on and getting the guns/components hot, or can they just plug it in as soon as they get in into their house?

thanks for your opinions on this.

Let it warm up for a day or so...DON'T turn it on any earlier than that (IMO).

Yeah , definately let it warm up. I remember buying a tv with my parents as a kid (crt of course) and it was winter, and we got it home plugged it in and it made a pop or something. And went back to the store then next day.

thanks folks, that's what i thought.

Jeff
