    I have a dell 24 inch monitor , it has a builtin card reader and some usb ports but i'm wondering how to use them, am I supposed to have the monitor plugged into a usb port on my pc ? just looking at the back there is a usb connection, I'll go and buy a usb cable so, does anyone have the same monitor and is using the card reader and usb ports ?

    You'll more than likely need to hook up the rear usb output into the computer to use this functionality as only video signals are transfered between DVI/VGA etc... :D

    I have a Dell 24" monitor also and you do have to plug a USB cable from the monitor into a USB port on your PC. There should be a USB cable that came with your monitor with one end of the cable having a standard USB connector and the other end having a square USB connector. The link below shows a pictuire of such a cable.

    yea I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those around, I'll dig it out, I'm after buying a psp on adverts and I'll be transfering video onto the memory card so the reader in the monitor would be very handy indeed, thanks man

    If thats the cable any cable used for printers etc will work, its the most standard usb one :)

    No problem at all. I did the same with my PSP; the monitor's real handy for things like that.
