I live in New York and purchased my TV shield over 8 years ago in order to protect a $300 tv in my backyard by my hot tub. Through 8 cold and snowy winters and 8 hot and steamy summers, the shield has performed magnificently with absolutely no requirement. I am also happy to report that the tv that it protects is operating as well now as the day that we installed it on the wall in the shield. Additionly, the shield is in perfect condition and, I am amazed to say, it looks like it can last another 8 years! Your product has proven to be such a great value and has surpassed all of my expectations. I strongly recommend your tv shield.
