I don't know about the other units, but i got mine a week ago, today i finally hanged it on my wall, i found out the TV freezes a lot, had to unplug it so many times., i will try to update the firmware, hope it will solve the problem.

Should not be a problem. Only issue is my master remote (from the cable company) will not turn the unit on. You have to use the supplied remote to turn it on. It will turn itself off when the TV turns off.

Well I have three of these in a 900 square foot cabin at 4000 foot elevation, I don't expect to heat the house this way, it is about freeze protection while I am gone.Never had a freezing problem yet, and it has been below zero within the last few months

It has never frozen on me. It does not have a port for a HDMI cable. They sell them at walmart so go check it out.

I was careful not to pause the screen at all or to air a channel for more than fifteen minutes with fixed logos or borders (history channel, CNBC, ESPN). Usually the programming takes care of the situation with commercials. Some people recommend running commercially available burn-in slides before you start using your TV. I chose to just be careful (more careful than I really needed to be) and have had no issues with ghost images. Wonderful TV for the visually obsessed.

The unit is definitely affected by cold weather. Since the switch stopped working on our first unit we've always been sure to bring the units inside when the weather gets to freezing.

I had this in the car last winter in Eau Claire, WI, where it was below zero over night. Sometimes in the mornings the monitor was a bit "stiff" but once it warmed up in the cabin it worked fine. As you know, LCD monitors do contain liquid, so extreme cold can eventually damage the crystals. If you expect prolonged periods of below freezing temperatures, you may want to bring it indoors or keep it in a garage. Hope that helps. Warren, KC9IL.

It's a pretty stiff unit, depending on TV size it might not move. You could easily put a zip tie or 2 on the scissor bars and lock it down during travel. Hope that helps.

Cold weather doesn't help. I personally throw deep cell rv battery into the jet sled and hook up the fish TV to it. Yeah its heavy, but the charge lasts for days on end.

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

You can remove the screen from the doorway in winter or when bringing large furniture through the doorway, by unhooking the velco at the top and sides and put it back up easily next summer. I had the other TV one and I tried bring large items through the screen without removing it and tore the screen at the top of the doorway. Recommend removing the screen whenever necessary.

You need to remember to use the TV's channel 3 or 4 input from your cable when switched to that input; those will still be there with snow when you switch to the off-air (antenna) position. It's worked out quite well for me.
