My monitor for my tower/desktop has a USB. Can I plug it into the monitor or does it have to be plugged into the tower?

This should work well as a good replacement for a damaged headphone port on my laptop (win7, 6gb ram) correct? I can use the yellow port for headphones/external speaker right? That's what I read... what you think?

I really cannot think of a reason why this would not work. As long as the PC has a USB cable run between the monitor and the PC, the adapter should work. The monitor at this point is just acting as a hub for any USB devices

As long as your monitor is plugged in to the computer (acting as a USB hub I assume) then it should work.

You need a USB keyboard and a USB Mouse. You can connect the mouse and keyboard to the monitor, then connect a USB cable from the tower to the monitor. I don't remeber if this monitor came with a USB cable, but if not or you want to see what a USB cable looks like, click this link: http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-USB-2-0-High-Speed-Gold-Plated/dp/B001MSU1HG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1398952779&sr=1-3&keywords=usb+cable I hope this helps

Can this be used to hook up a laptop computer? (I have a laptop that works but with a broken monitor. I'm thinking this might be a passable -- I don't have high hopes for "great," but it might be passable -- solution until I can get the laptop fixed?Could I either connect this with a standard monitor plug or with one of my laptop's USB ports?Thanks.

There is a couple USB cables that need to plug into your motherboard. They are labeled USB. One is for the LED control and the other is for the USB... Actually now looking into my PC I see that there is a larger black cord stamped with USB 3.0 that plugs right below my eatxpwr. I can follow the cord to the top of the tower so I'm sure that it is the one you will need. Your mother board will have to have a USB 3 connector for it to work. Hope this helps. You gonna love this tower!

It must be defective if you have it plugged into a working USB port and the ports on the monitor won't work. I've had mine quite a while and use the USB ports daily with no issues

You will need to plug into the monitor and it won't work that good. I sold it and moved on.

It attaches to your, monitor, laptop, CPU, or USB hub. Any source on your system that you can plug your USBinto that will then access your monitor. Good luck. I've been very pleased with mine, and have bought one forall of our 6 kids in order to stay in touch (visually) with them & our ever growing number of grandchildren. Soyes, I also recommend this Webcam. God bless, Bill L.

The USB ports work fine here, I have not had any issues. I use them all the time. You need to make sure you plug the USB cord from the monitor into a USB port on your tower though.

I don't see a way to do that unless you have a monitor that could connect with a USB port. Other than that, I love my new computer! I've had it since mid-August.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

Yes. You'll need to connect it with a USB 3.0 Cable since there is only one monitor port.

You need a mediabridge USB cable. This plugs into a USB port in your computer and into the monitor. This allows the computer to use the 3 monitor USB ports for just one on your computer.

RCA to VGA is correct...I use it to view my XBOX play on my desktop monitor...worx great! It has a 5v adapter you plug into the wall..no USB.

would be nice is the used USB power, then you could plug them in to a usb jack on your monitor

This cable is not for USB port usage. It is a video cable HDMI to display port to be used from your HDMI on your computer to your computer monitor (assuming that your monitor uses this type of port, not all use this type of port).

The USB connection goes to the desktop computer in order to enable the touch-screen to work properly. I also connected the HDMI and Video Cables, although I am not sure they were both necessary. I am very pleased with this monitor......beautiful picture, no problems......I give it 5 stars.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.
