We have a flat-screen but it's a projection model. I heard the LCD's are best not stored too cold but have no idea abut 'plasma screen.' The projection model should be safe to be left in the very cold.

We were told the bulb would only last about a year. Slightly more than a year after we got it, it began to shut it self down. I figurred time for a new bulb and openned the cage so I could take the old in in to be matched. The cage has a protective screen to keep dust off the VERY HOT bulb. I vacuumed the dust off the cage and also cleaned the mounting area. This needs to be done periodicaly.

They are much wider that an LCD but less hot than a plasma.

Hope that helps with your selection process.
