Product NEC MultiSync LCD1525X Monitor with USB Base P/N LCD1525X Designer Data Communication URL http://www.nec-mitsubishi.com/coremedia/generator/... Price USD 500 Comments Being a hub is not a primary purpose of this device, but anyway it has a built-in hub which works fine. The built-in hub works fine (tried with mouse). General note: the monitor has two video inputs (that can be switched manually or automatically when the signal appears on one of the inputs) and the built-in hub has two inputs which can be switched together with monitor inputs. Thus if you have a USB keyboard and mouse you can have a convenient monitor/keyboard/mouse switch to work with two computers. Thanks to Lesha Bogdanow for this information. VendorID - DeviceID -
