My monitor only has a monitor plug; no HDM I and no USB. Will this work with my monitor (without the computer)?

Hi :-) I have moved on to another and passed the TV I was using this on to one of my daughters. They still have the TV and it works great. The TV was a Mitsubushi projector TV with HD resolution. It did not have usb or hdmi. It did have component TV RCA plugs, and other RCA type video inputs. This unit worked !

I have plugged a monitor via VGA and the USB monitor and had success, I would think 2 USB monitors would work.I am on a MAC Book Pro

Connect your monitor's USB3.0 cable (located on rear panel of monitor) to your computer's USB3.0 input (this is not the USB output plug of your video card) and the 4 USB ports on the side of your monitor act as extra inputs to the USB3.0 bus as if they were a USB3.0 HUB. No special cable is required other that the one supplied with your monitor.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am a customer of theres not the company ,but my son whom I bought this for uses it with an old monitor ,you may need an adapter,which they sent with it,but may need a different one,ask them or an electronics store like office depot or staples they should tell you

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter? http://www.amazon.com/Startech-DP2HDMI-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BDW

I am not familiar with that monitor. Assuming it has a VGA connection the cable works great. Nice to have the audio jack incorportated. My cable of choice from now on.

There is "NO" "USB" connectors at all on this displayThe only connectivity on this monitor is "HDMI" "DVI" & "DisplayPort", and also a 1/8" audio connector

It should work with a PC monitor with HDMI inputs. I have never tried it in that application though.

This will not work without a monitor, I disconnected the monitor VGA from the unit & the audio did not work.

This passively converts the display port to HDMI. It will not plug into your USB port.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

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.

your monitor should come with all the cords you need. but if not dvi or hdmi or hdmi to dvi will work

I'm use one of my Plugables on a laptop on via the USB port. I am not familiar the mini HDMI port. It is working well as the primary monitor.

The speaker plugs into a usb port.I do not know what kind of monitor you are using, but this speaker has a long cord.Should be fine.
