Can this be connected to a USB port on a computer monitor? The $15.99 version runs on battery?

Should work on any monitor USB that has power to it, try charging a smartphone or other device with the USB on yours.

To the best of my memory, I don't think so. Regardless, it was a waste of money. There was mostly just loud static whenever it was turned on. I ended up getting a Sony Baby Call monitor, and it works perfectly. Of course, it was more costly, but well worth it. I plug it in so I couldn't tell you right now if it will run on batteries.

Yes it will connect a monitor to your laptop. I don't know about the energy usage. I run mine on 110V.

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.

There are no USB ports on this monitor. I think the frameless design does not give it the space internally to add USB ports. You can always get a USB hub to connect to your computer for your USB devices.

Yes you can connect it with the computer monitor but I'm not sure what you can do on it.

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

There is a usb cord connection. but I have no idea what to use it for! I use the monitor connection to display documents for students to view as I work out problems. There is also the power cord and some video cords.

Yes, just plug it into the computer via the USB cable. You'll see a little battery symbol with three bars in it on the LCD once it's fully charged.

Er, yeah. You run a USB cable from the monitor to the computer, and then get two USB ports on the monitor. I've never used these though.

No. There is only one USB port in the rear which is used to connect the monitor to your computer. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Yes, I'm currently using two of these monitors on a MacBook Pro 15" 2014 using one USB 3.0 port connected to a 3.6Amp 4-port USB Hub I got from Best Buy, and using two USB 2.0 Cables. A USB 3.0 Cable is NOT required for monitor operation as long as you're connected to a USB 3.0 Port on your laptop. And just FYI on my setup, I'm using a 20,000mAh USB 2.1A battery pack to power my two monitors while I'm out and about such as at a Starbucks and it works perfectly for a good 7 hours!

No USB port. It's very simple... just 1 cable that goes from the chill mat to a USB port in your computer. Sorry, I'm not sure about battery power. I use my laptop at home, so it's always plugged in.

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.

It's a battery powered monitor. There is no way to load anything onto it. It's just like your monitor at home it just shows you the picture that your computer tells it to display.

You can connect it via HDMI or DVI, there is no USB video source unless you have 2 monitors.

I assume the battery was inside the unit, I only had it for a few days as it would not work with my monitor Lillyput , I think you charge the unit with the USB plug, there was no way to open the unit and look at the so called battery. Hope this helps
