(Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) Making use of USB (Universal Serial Bus) USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an innovation in connecting your different desktop peripherals conveniently to your computer. By using the USB, you will be able to connect your mouse, keyboard, and other peripherals to your display instead of having to connect them to your computer. This will give you greater flexibility in setting up your system. USB allows you to connect a chain of up to 120 devices on a single USB port; and you can hot plug (attach them while the computer is running) or unplug them while maintaining the Plug and the Plug auto detection and configuration. This display has an integrated BUS-
powered USB hub, allowing up to 2 other USB devices to be attached it. USB connection 1. Connect the upstream port of the display to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub using the USB cable. (Computer must have a USB port) 2.
