[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1457238, member: 24160"] Have never seen such a converter. Would suggest if you want USB at the monitor, you continue your monitor search. While the HDMI port on the monitor will pass it's EDID info, it is not designed to pass input data. You would have to input through one HDMI, pass the data on to the 2nd HDMI and then to the computer. That is, you could not for example connect a Blu-Ray player to the monitor and expect to watch that on your computer screen by passing the info through the other HDMI port. They will not pass data from one port to the other. Today, most HDMI are one way ports - input or output. Although, that is changing with the new breed of HDMI with ethernet. [/QUOTE]
