NEC MultiSync EA294WMIB 29" Professional Super-Widescreen LED Monitor

hi I just bought one of these monitors and I am very happy with it, but can anyone tell me what the usb ports are for and how to use them, as I cant find any information at all, I actually thought I could use usb storage to watch movies on it without the pc being turned on, but I cant get any thing to happen......

Its most likely a USB hub, will have a USB in port which splits into a few 'out' ports for connecting devices to your PC via the monitor.

From product spec page:

Input Connectors

DisplayPort, DVI-D Dual Link, DVI-D Single Link, VGA (2), USB hub (1up/ 4 down)

hi there thanks for the info, seems a bit pointless if that is the case though, there is 1 upstream usb so it looks like your right, that 1 will connect to the pc....

Office workers use those types of port to plug in usb sticks.
