I've delivered countless TVs in cold weather and never had a problem.
I was surprised one day when I found most of the small TV modules
(1970's) in my truck broken in half.
I first thought, who would do that? (I had no employees at that time).
Then I realized the temp. had dropped to 18 degrees below zero that
week. Apparently the copper shrinks at a different rate than the board
material.
