Seeking you guys' opinions on turning on a game or playing a game when it's cold outside.

It's cold and wintery here outside (32 degrees) but the door to the "game room" in our house is open, the room is carpeted and it's at "room temperature", our central heating's thermostat is set to 74 degrees and I confirmed the heater vents are open in the room. The game is about 10 feet away from the window.

The backglass still feels cold to touch when I feel it. Is there a risk of the bulbs behind it heating up the cold paint and causing it to delaminate if I turn on the game?

Or is it OK to turn on the game and let the lights warm it up or better to wait until it's warmer outside?

Our games are inside the house in the third bedroom which is heated via the central heating system set to a comfortable 74 degrees so the air feels the same temperature as in the living room, etc. but I decided to feel the backglass and it does feel cold to the touch. (not the normal slightly cold touch)

Know what I mean? I'm beginning to think it's not good to turn them on or play them even inside the house during cold weather if the glass feels cold to the touch.

Good point. I've always made sure to wait some time after bringing a game inside from the cold before turning it on but rapid temperature changes like loading a machine from a cold environment into a hot environment or the other way around is something to keep in mind too.

Yeah, they're inside my house and it's probably OK to turn them on and play them during the winter as long as the room is kept warm. (the backglasses on two of them are in beautiful original condition)

Thanks for your answers, guys.
