OMG!!! What a hastle!!

I am beat!!  I hardly slept last night, and first thing in the morning I went to Costco, because a Floor Demo Computer Monitor I purchased last April, totally blacked out on me.

After talking to three different managers, I finally got the OK to exchange, but the only two monitors Costco had in stock ( Costco business plan, actually depends on keeping a small  selection ) where 24 inch monitors.

I decide to go with a Samsung 24 incher, ( shame the inches aren't in my under.. ) anyways..  I get home and the vga cord doesn't fit the dvi on my HP.

I go to Office Depot for an adapter, the adapter doesn't fit.   I wind up at Walmart, after I had driven home from Office Depot, and driven back to Office Depot to fetch my money.

At Walmart I have to buy an HDMI Cable, and an adapter, because my computer doesn't have an HDMI input.

Anyways, I've just returned home from Walmart, and I've connected everything, and ofcourse the display is wicked High Def.  Still, I'm not happy with retailers, they really screw you over on the little things.  They will totally knock a tv down to a price point were they hardly break even, and then happily charge you $32 for $0.50 worth of cable and adapter.  Its disgusting..

    24" isn't large enough.  This monitor is much better.



    HTH.

    Of course now you have the added pleasure of Googling the same $32 cable and finding it for $2.99 online....

[/end rant] 


    Glad you got it all sorted out and as it turned out it appears you have a better monitor now. :)

    @ SongCraft,

    Absolutely!!

    @ sharke,

    I know the cables are cheaper online, but if I bought online today, I'd have to pay for overnight shipping, there is no free ship on a $3 item, and I wouldn't get it till Monday...  Overnight shipping is a cool $20, and by the time your done...    

    Well, if I could've waited a week, then I would have..   but the computer does double duty -> music/office work.  I've just got things I must get done..  thats all...

    :-)
