I've lived in Madagascar, where it is very hot and humid. Most people don't have indoor plumbing or even running water, but a lot of people have flat screen TVs. The windows are just wooden shutters. There is no climate control in the house. For all intents and purposes their homes are covered porches.

Their TVs work and the humidity is insane. They don't have extreme cold, but you might be ok having it out there.

Best Buy offers coverage plans that include damage for any reason. It's not abuse if you purchase a protection plan, which is different from using a manufacturer defect warranty.
