Monitors with USB hubs

Gjiir · 10 May 2011 at 20:07

I have been using an NEC multisync 20wgx2 widescreen LCD monitor (1680x1050)for years now and am now looking to upgrade it as its unable to watch blu-rays on it and while it sounds wierd, the top area of the screen is darker while is gradually expanding downwards like its dripping down. So time for upgrade.

Now one of its features i love is that it has a USB hub on the side of it so i can easily connect a phone, camera or whatever in quickly.

But im finding it hard to find any new monitors with USB hubs. Is there any reason why i cant seem to find any?

Could you not just buy a keyboard with built in powered USB ports?

My DELL U2311h has USB built in. I find it very useful as well. I would also recommend this monitor if your thinking of upgrading any time soon.

+1 for the Dell U2311H - it has a 2 port USB 2.0 hub, as well as a lovely E-IPS panel, versatile stand and a nice 3 year warranty with Dell. Here is a review.

HP LP2475w has a 6 port USB hub, 4 under the monitor and 2 on the side

The U2311H has a 4 port hub not 2.

Ah yes ofcourse - 2 ports on the side, 2 in the back. How could I forget, I was hooking up my sisters 2209WA a week ago and that basically uses the same hub.
