I returned a year old well used set of golf clubs with my reciept and got cash in hand. I was asked why i was returning them and I said I switched sports.
True statement I dumped pu@@y a@@ golf and went back to paintballing.
Anyway Costco is good to go for returns on most everything except for laptops and desktops from what I have read of their policys.
They are incredible,solotech said:Costco return policy is awesome.

They do not have that cable for sale yet. I called and asked about it when I bought the monitor. No cable exists yet that will do that. They say it will be a month or two before they have it. If it does become available, you'll have to call them and ask for it. They won't list it on their website for sale.compslckr said:also, this is the adapter they show on their site for the hdtv thing

how would you use that to hook an xbox 360 up to this lcd?

Hulk said:Reason why I am asking is because I am new to PC gaming, I plan on getting a 7800gtx (when the price comes down a little bit) and I was just curious if the screen did 1600x1200. What is the resolution that comes before that?

I thought you could not return anything to Costco...
Edit:
okay..
Can I return it to any Costco store if I buy it online?
Not quite. Supporting the monitor's resolution and supporting widescreen are two very different things. Not all that many games truly support widescreen. For example, BF2 is a recent example of one that doesn't. The EA forums are full of people complaining about it too.syukton said:All modern games support whatever resolutions are supported by your video card. Any game that runs on the Quake3 engine (Quake3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) can use a custom video mode by setting r_customwidth (ie, 1680) and r_customheight (ie, 1050) and r_mode (to -1).
That's normal if yours is a 4:3 display at 20" (i.e. not widescreen 16:9 or 16:10 format). The widescreens we're discussing (the Sceptre in the OP and the Dell 2005FPW) are 1680x1050 panels.OldPueblo said:Just a quick point, the 20.1 Viewsonic I picked up does do 1600x1200. Unless I'm misunderstanding what is meant.
If its native resolution is 1680x1050, then it's impossible to display 1600x1200. Either it or the software is dropping or scaling the 150 vertical pixels. No LCD can display more than its native resolution.OldPueblo said:It is a widescreen, does 1680x1050 tops. I posted about it a little earlier. HL2, Quake4, Quake 2, Serious Sam 2, and Doom3 all give me either a 1600x1200 or 1600x900 or both options. Now it could just be that the games all natively support widescreen, I don't know. BF2 topped out at 1400x1050 for resolution.

The game might run at the widescreen resolution, but the field of view is still at 4:3, meaning the image is stretched wide, resulting in a squashed appearance. Only games that truly support a 16:9 FOV will properly appear on a widescreen, meaning that you will see a wider area of the game than someone with a 4:3 FOV.
And to the other person who asked: no, this monitor nor the Dell 2005FPW will display 1600x1200 -- it's a 1680x1050 monitor, which is why I avoided it. 1600x1200 is a crucial resolution for me, so I'm not willing to give up the 150 vertical pixels. I bought a 2001FPW to get 1600x1200 and when the 2405's (1920x1200) drop below $750 again I intend to grab one of them.
