Bestbuy etc take opened items like that back up to 30 days. I think it used to be much longer in the past but I would 100% expect to be able to return a dead tv/monitor/electronic of any sort to a big box store take my broken item back even if I opened it and plugged it in to use it.

I rarely buy from box stores but when I do that and being able to test things in person is the only reason I ever go near a bestbuy/etc.
