Does the monitor require two USB Ports to operate. My Think Pad has only two USB ports and one is needed for the wireless mouse.

No it does not (in most instances). I have always used it with just a single USB connection.
789547
Require, no but they come with a 2 port USB cable incase your computer does not supply enough via one port. I've worked extensively with lenovo and IBM think pads and have yet to need to use the secondary connector.

The monitor only requires one USB port - plug in the shorter end of the USB input
789549
yes it is required 2 usb 2.0 port, but actually I am using with just one usb 3.0, and for it working very good and I am using very big software like Inventor or ANSys.

We have several users who tell me that they do not need to attach both cables; not sure why, just reporting what they have told me.
789551
No it does not. It comes with an extra sub outlet but you only need to plug in one

The others are correct about the interfaces. I'll clarify a little more. The USB is proprietary on the monitor side but the cable is included. Standard USB on the computer end. The monitor includes 3 standard USB ports on the left side that communicate with the computer. That is a nice feature if you're short USB ports on your computer. The power connector is also proprietary (included as well).

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 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

On Windows, go by the manual for the monitor. You need the one USB connection if you want touchscreen; the other two USB ports become essentially a two-port USB hub available for whatever else you want to plug in to it.I don't know about MacBook(s).Jim

It came with a keyboard (USB) and mouse (USB). If you want to go wireless keyboard/mouse you will have to buy them separately.Doesn't come with a monitor.

You probably already have this answered, but you need to connect a 2nd cable from the monitor to the computer. It's the one that has a squarish end fitting at the monitor, and a USB fitting on the other end that goes to the computer. This takes away one USB port at your computer, but gives you 4 at the monitor in return.

Yes you could, however all you really need is a Mini HDMI adapter cable. The Thinkpad 2 has a full size USB port, so no need for the micro and mini USB adapters.

I have not connected it to a USB hub, however I have connected this display with two Lenovo ThinkVision LT1423p's. The result is that all three displays are running at the same time from a desktop with a large number of USB 3.0 ports. As for the LT1423p, both touch screens work as advertised at the same time on Windows 7, but need calibration.A USB 3.0 hub is logically identical to multiple USB 3.0 ports, and you will be able to run multiple displays on them, barring USB 3.0's bandwidth throughput limit. Electrically, it can be possible to use too many amps from a single USB port this way, but this is unlikely with only two monitors.

It has a usb hub, which requires a single cable to connect pc to monitor. The monitor then has 2 available usb connectors. The cable is USB Type A Male to USB Type B Male

For your older computer, you may need 2 open USB Ports to provide enough power. Fortunately the monitor comes with a cable with 2 USB connectors - and USB 2.0 Ports work just fine.

Usually there is a USB port already on it. You just put the doggle in to it from the mouse you should not need a USB hub. They usually give you all the cables you will need.

I can't find any specs on power requirement, but there's nothing in the mouse that draws any significant amount of power. That said, it should work in any usb port, so the port on the monitor should be just fine. Depending on your operating system, the monitor usb port should usually be connected to a usb 2.0 port on the back of the computer so it will be active when the computer is first booting. If the port is connected to a usb port that isn't active early in the boot process, you won't be able to use it to make selections in the bios configuration. Otherwise, it's a great mouse and provides wonderful relief for those with wrist problems aggravated by a conventional mouse.

Gee, "wires" don't usually come with any PC other then any required AC power cord. (and in the case of this PC, the included mouse has a "wire") Cables for monitors and printers etc. either come with the accessory device or are bought separately if not included with them.

I really don't know but that is an interesting question. Most laptops seem to have an easy way to use two screens and Windows will allow you to use more. You might try attaching a VGA monitor and trying for three that way, before springing for another USB monitor. If you try it and it works out, let us all know.

I'm not sure I understand the question...but you'll need the VGA connection for video and the USB connection for Keyboard and mouse connectivity, should you choose to use it. It will function without the USB being plugged in, if that's your concern. Hope that helps...
