1. A display assembly with condensation control comprising:
a housing;
an electronic display located within the housing;
an airflow pathway extending within the housing;
one or more sensors, at least some of which are located along said airflow pathway; and
a controller in electronic communication with said one or more sensors and comprising software instructions stored at one or more electronic storage devices, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
determine a dewpoint temperature for air at the display assembly;
determine an internal temperature for the display assembly based, at least in part, on data received from said one or more sensors;
calculate a dewpoint spread between said dewpoint temperature and said internal temperature;
where said dewpoint spread is equal to or below a predetermined threshold, initiate modified operations; and
where said dewpoint spread is equal to or above a same or different predetermined threshold, cease modified operations.
